Lets understand security with respect to the departments workspace and roles. There is a department workspace Sales, and Mark Duncun plays the role of Sales Manager of that department workspace. Now, it is possible that Mark may belong to another department workspace, say, Accounts, and he may not play the role of a manager in Accounts but he may just be a staff in that department workspace. Therefore, the privileges that Mark gets in the Sales department workspace, is not what he gets in the Accounts department workspace. Let's assume, there is one department workspace "Human Resource" with Joe as the head of the department workspace. The "Human Resource" department workspace is responsible for two different projects, with Joe as the manager of P1 and John as the manager for P2. Now, since Joe is the head of the department workspace of "Human Resource", he has the privileges which over-rides his privileges as manager of P1. In other words, Joe has more authority on the department workspace, but less on P1. Whereas, even if Joe is the head of the department workspace of "Human Resource", he still has limited privileges in P2 as compared to John, who has more privileges in P2 since he is the manager.
