-A role is a way to define certain patterns and processes that exist across nodes in an organization as belonging to a single job function. Each role consists of zero (or more) attributes and a run\-list. Each node can have zero (or more) roles assigned to it. When a role is run against a node, the configuration details of that node are compared against the attributes of the role, and then the contents of that role\(aqs run\-list are applied to the node\(aqs configuration details. When a chef\-client runs, it merges its own attributes and run\-lists with those contained within each assigned role.
