Sitecore role hierarchy

Question

Is there any way to implement role hierarchy in 5.2/5.3 sitecore?

Answer 1

Actually, 5.3 has support for roles in roles :). But not in the UI. Have a look at /sitecore/admin/dbbrowser.aspx and switch to the Security database. The role items have a role-in-role field. You can add roles by adding IDs, pipe(|) seperated.
