Hello,

Position is used to define what is the role of that employee in the company, whether he is a developer, tester etc.
Whereas Role defines what permissions that particular employee has when using ProcessMaker functionalities. As such position does not have a specific functionality as Role has in ProcessMaker.

One example use of position is while defining groups/departments, it helps in assigning users to proper groups/departments based on the role in the company.
