A resource role is a role that consists of resource permissions and applies to a resource and its children. For example, if you assign a resource role to a domain, it also applies to all assets in the domain. If you assign a resource role to a community, it also applies to all its subcommunities, domains and assets in the community. The purpose of resource roles is to grant resource permissions to users through a responsibility. For example, they determine which users can edit assets via the asset page or in a workflow.
