Governance Roles Configuration Section
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

A user who is assigned a governance role will have permissions on a collection
in that subject area. This global setting determines whether the role can
create workflows. 

.. note::
   A user having one role disabled for workflow creation could still
   create a workflow if they also have another applicable enabled role
   (or a permission profile assignment). 

There is also a setting for roles that edit source code and edit ADS scripts. 
If *Can edit source code* checked, users will see the source code panel in the
editor and be able to make direct edits.
If *Can edit ADS scripts* is checked, users will see the ADS panel and be able
to write scripts that are executed on this EDG instance. 
If *Can edit SPARQL queries* is checked, enabled users will have edit access to
the SPARQL query panel in the editor and be able to execute SPARQL queries on
the collections.
If *Can perform SPARQL updates* is checked, enabled users will be allowed to execute
not just SPARQL queries but also updates (INSERT/DELETE).
Typically, these permissions are enabled only for for expert users.
