The Outline pane includes a My Roles link if your content includes role assignments. The My Roles checkbox and My Roles link only appear if you are viewing content in which roles were assigned by the content author.
The My Roles functionality allows you to personalize the content outline to show only those topics that apply to a role. For example, you could select "Payroll" to display those topics that refer to the payroll function.
Click the My Roles link and select the roles to be used to filter content from the predefined list on the My Roles dialog box. Click the Roles checkbox to apply the roll-based filtering to the content. Only those documents to which the selected roles are assigned appear in the Outline pane. You have the ability to easily switch back and forth between your personalized view and the full content view. You can redisplay the entire outline by clicking off the My Roles checkbox.
Note: When you apply role-based filtering, you may have to expand the tree structure in the outline to see the results of the filtering.
