Module Role Type vs. EPT Custom Role Type

Question

Developers can create a Role Type in a Module. They can also create a Custom Role Type in an EPT.

Is there any difference between these other than being in a module vs. an EPT?

For example, does the Module Role Type have more capabilities than an EPT Custom Role Type?

Thanks.

These are functionally the same. There is no real difference between what you can do with a Module Role Type and an EPT Custom Role Type.

By contrast, Enterprise Role Types (created in the NEO UI, not studio) do have a different capability set. Enterprise Role Types are limited to only *removing* permissions inherited from other roles, they can't add their own new permissions.
