Role - Create - Step 3 - Competencies
The Competencies step is optional. However, a role must contain at least one competency or learning object (LO). By default, a maximum of 100 total requirements (competency and training) can be added to a role. However, a backend setting may be enabled that limits the number of total requirements to 40.
