[rules-users] Help : Enabling Role Base Authorization in Guvnor

Hi, the rolesProperties file (eg,  guvnor-roles.properties) configured 
in JBoss AS is not used by Guvnor authorization. Before you enable 
enable-role-based-authorization, you need to login and configure user 
permissions in Guvnor "Administration". For example, you need to give 
your "admin" user a full admin permission.

Hope this helps,
Jervis
