Module roles are connected to:

Module roles are fundamentally linked to user roles in Mendix. User roles dictate the permissions and access rights that individuals have within a Mendix application. When you define module roles, you are effectively specifying what users with a certain user role can access and the actions they can perform within that module.

By associating module roles with user roles, Mendix allows for granular control over the functionalities available to different types of users, ensuring that each user only sees and interacts with the parts of the application that are relevant to their responsibilities. This connection helps maintain security and proper data governance within the application by clearly delineating which users have access to which functionalities and data.

In contrast, project settings, global configurations, and data storage do not have a direct link to how module roles govern user access and capabilities within individual modules. These aspects serve different purposes in the broader context of application development and management.
