You can define conflicting roles to prevent employees, devices, or workdesks from being assigned to several roles at the same time and from obtaining mutually exclusive company resources through these roles. At the same time, specify which departments, cost centers, and locations are mutually exclusive. This means you may not assign these roles to one and the same employee (device, workdesk).
