What does the 'show reference' action reveal when configuring roles under 'Access Control' in the Controller?

When configuring roles under 'Access Control' in the Controller, the 'show reference' action is used to provide insights about the profiles that are associated with the specified role. This action allows network administrators to understand which profiles are applied to that role, facilitating better management of user access and permissions within the network. By revealing the profiles linked to the role, this action helps in troubleshooting and ensuring that the desired permissions and settings are correctly implemented.

Understanding the profiles associated with a role is crucial for maintaining security and proper access control policies. This function aids in ensuring that all configurations related to the role are aligned with organizational requirements and helps in making informed decisions when it comes to adjustments or troubleshooting in the network infrastructure.
