+A role is a way to define certain patterns and processes that exist across nodes in an organization as belonging to a single job function. Each role consists of zero (or more) attributes and a run list. Each node can have zero (or more) roles assigned to it. When a role is run against a node, the configuration details of that node are compared against the attributes of the role, and then the contents of that role\(aqs run list are applied to the node\(aqs configuration details. When a chef\-client runs, it merges its own attributes and run lists with those contained within each assigned role.
+.sp
+The \fBknife role\fP subcommand is used to manage the roles that are associated with one or more nodes on a server.
+.sp
+This subcommand has the following syntax:
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+$ knife role [ARGUMENT] (options)
+.ft P

+Use the \fBknife node\fP subcommand (and the \fBrun_list add node\fP argument) to add a role to a node on the server.

-Roles provide a mechanism to group repeated configuration settings\. Roles are data structures that contain \fBdefault_attributes\fR, and \fBoverride_attributes\fR, which are nested hashes of configuration settings, and a \fBrun_list\fR, which is an ordered list of recipes and roles that should be applied to a host by chef\-client\.
-.
-.P
-\fBdefault_attributes\fR will be overridden if they conflict with a value on a node that includes the role\. Conversely, \fBoverride_attributes\fR will override any values set on nodes that apply them\.
-.
-.P
-When \fBchef\-client\fR(8) configures a host, it will "expand" the \fBrun_list\fR included in that host\'s node data\. The expansion process will recursively replace any roles in the run_list with that role\'s run_list\.
