While scrolling through the list of users, under the Entity role assignments panel, two types of assignments can be recognized:
Direct assignment vs inherited assignment
Direct assignment - the directly assigned users can be removed from the selected Entity and implicitly managed from roles point of view.
Inherited assignment - the users inherited from higher hierarchical authorities are accompanied by the
symbol. These users cannot be detached from a lower hierarchical level, but their roles and permissions can be edited.
