Roles show the relationship between a given legal entity and a security. A legal entity can have multiple roles for multiple securities (for example, issuer, guarantor, obligor), and a security can have multiple legal entities associated with it. Because of this relationship, RDC is configured so that it is easy to view roles from within both legal entity and security screens.
