## Edge Schema

* Source: [GH\_OrgRole](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_orgrole), [GH\_RepoRole](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_reporole)
* Destination: [GH\_OrgRole](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_orgrole), [GH\_RepoRole](/opengraph/extensions/github/nodes/gh_reporole)
* Traversable: ✅

## General Information

The traversable GH\_HasBaseRole edge represents role inheritance within the GitHub permission hierarchy. Org roles inherit down to all-repo roles (e.g., Owners inherits to all\_repo\_admin), and custom roles inherit from their base roles (e.g., a custom\_role inherits from write). This edge is traversable because it extends permissions through the role hierarchy, meaning a principal with a higher-level role implicitly holds all inherited lower-level roles.
