When editing a JAAS realm, the changes are buffered until the editing session is closed. When you add a new role using the jaas:roleadd command, the change is stored in the buffer and does not take effect until the editing session is closed.
The jaas:update command saves the changes and closes the editing session.
The jaas:cancel command clears the buffer without saving the changes and closes the editing session.
