Roles settings

Members can use the roles attribute to have several roles in addition to their inherited role. The roles attribute can be added to Members only and can be used only once.
If you use the roles attribute, you can access views based on the following settings:

For example, you have five roles that are represented by five folders in the Members module: Product Manager, Team Leader, Project Manager, Developer, and Tester. Users are grouped according to each of the roles. Each user gains access by inheriting views from the role that they belong to.

One of the developers needs to access the views that are defined for the Tester role. If you added the roles attribute to the Members module, you can edit the attribute for the developer and create a link to the Tester role.
