As automation moves enterprise-wide, the need to automate at scale grows. AWX offer the ability to take a fact gathering or
configuration job running across thousands of machines and slice it into individual job slices that can be distributed across your AWX cluster for increased reliability, faster job completion, and better cluster utilization. If you need to change a parameter across 15,000 switches at
scale, or gather information across your multi-thousand-node RHEL estate, you can now do so easily.

single: roles
pair: DAB; RBAC

This section describes the latest changes to RBAC, involving use of the ``django-ansible-base`` (DAB) library, to enhance existing roles, provide a uniformed model that is compatible with platform (enterprise) components, and allow creation of custom roles. However, the internals of the system in the backend have changes implemented, but they are not reflected yet in the AWX UI. The change to the backend maintains a compatibility layer so the “old” roles in the API still exists temporarily, until a fully-functional compatible UI replaces the existing roles.

New functionality, specifically custom roles, are possible through direct API clients or the API browser, but the presentation in the AWX UI might not reflect the changes made in the API.
