Probably... but I'm not sure if it's recommended.
I know for sure that the child roles inherit the "tools" from the parent.
We assign child roles to root level folders on the site. (Everything under that folder they inherit permissions for.)
http://www.example.com/homeland-security/
http://www.example.com/human-resources/
I think it's easier to manage child role permissions at the folder level.
Our parent root role has no permissions set, and no users, just tools.

Is there an inheritance hierarchy in permissions? In the example below, does "Homeland Security" inherit permissions from the "Department User"? Many thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am looking for a training video or how-to document that would help me creating permission scheme for departments. Assume that there's content type called Department with relations to employees, address, news, events, etc.
I would like to be able to create a role(s) with permission to:
1. Grant access to a specific folder (department root folder)
2. Grant access to specific categories/tags
3. Grant access to specific content type instances (for example, specific department content type and any related objects)
Many thanks in advance for any pointers or advice.
