Manage child roles

We can view, add, or remove child roles, which are roles that are members of another role. This relationship is a parent-child relationship between an organizational role (a parent role) and its child roles. A child role itself is an organizational role.

When we add child roles to a parent role, ensure that there is not a separation of duty policy violation.
