A role defined declaratively by a repository app v2 manifest, granting configured privileges to controller resources whose matching role or resource type is registered against this role's name. Grants access based on two independent checks against a ControllerResource: whether the resource declares privileges under this role's name, and whether the resource's types intersect the resource types this role is configured with. If either check matches, the role applies and the union of the resource's own declared privileges and this role's configured privileges is granted. Instances are built from XML (via the "rolev2" XStream alias) as part of a repository app's manifest, one per declared role.
