A Role represents a collection of permissions which determine the authorization
level of a [User](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/entities/user#user) on a given set of [Channel](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/entities/channel#channel)s.

```ts title="Signature"
class Role extends VendureEntity implements ChannelAware {
    constructor(input?: DeepPartial<Role>)
    @Column() code: string;
    @Column() description: string;
    @Column('simple-array') permissions: Permission[];
    @ManyToMany(type => Channel, channel => channel.roles)
    @JoinTable()
    channels: Channel[];
}
```
