Remarks

For better manageability, it is recommended to assign chat room membership and other roles to groups (see PersistentChatUserGroup), rather than to the constituents of the group individually. However, assignment of roles and permissions to both user groups and individual users is fully supported. This object represents an instance of a permissionable entity.
