``ROLE_USER`` role. The ``ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN`` role has ``ROLE_ADMIN``, ``ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH``
and ``ROLE_USER`` (inherited from ``ROLE_ADMIN``).

.. note::

The value of the ``role_hierarchy`` option is defined statically, so you
can't for example store the role hierarchy in a database. If you need that,
create a custom :doc:`security voter </security/voters>` that looks for the
user roles in the database.
