Remote Roles
A portal service enables you to retrieve an IRole object for a role located on a remote portal in a federated portal environment.
A major use case is
for a consumer portal application to assign users on the consumer portal to
roles on a producer portal. For more information, see
'Remote Role
Assignment' Mode.
Prerequisites

2. Retrieve the role by specifying its PCD location and the alias of the producer portal on which the role is located.
