Role management in "Metamatrix" days was done via it's console. Today, JOPR/JON provides the console-type functionality.

However, the data-role management is being pushed down to design-time.

So Designer needs to take this on, allow data roles (authorization/entitlements) at the column, table and model levels.

In addition there needs to be a way to manage higher-level "security" roles that will be mapped to actual roles when VDB's are deployed to the server.

This will required injecting these roles into the VDB for transport and eventual mapping.
