You're confusing it with OS group privileges. It's not. It's simply a way
to package a number of privileges that you can grant to a user as a whole
(and revoke as a whole). You don't assign users to roles, you grant roles
to users.

Remember also that Firebird users belong to the server, not to databases.

Good grief, SQL privileges, which were designed by a committee, natch, are
already a Mad Hatter's Teaparty, without making it worse...
