This is because changing the privilege composition of a role will change the privileges of all users/groups in all AirCloud resource access lists in which the role being changed can occur.
A user with this privilege will only be able to change roles that do not exceed his own privilege set. In the context of modifying roles, his own privileges are only counted from the set of entries in the global administrative access list with inheritance enabled. In this case, he will only be able to add privileges to the role he is modifying that he himself has.

Warning! To edit privileges already existing in the system roles, the user must have the privileges to change the composition of roles in the global and all local lists of administrative access. This is because changing the privilege composition of a role will change the privileges of all users/groups in all AirCloud resource access lists in which the role being changed can occur.
A user with this privilege will only be able to change roles that do not exceed the privilege set of his/her own. In the context of modifying roles, his own privileges are only counted from the set of entries in the global administrative access list with inheritance enabled. In this case, he will only be able to add to the role he is modifying those privileges that he himself has.
