Define Derived role in GRC?

The role that is already existing is known as the derived roles. They are generally seen as the menu structure that contains certain functions to provide services like- transactions, reports, Web-links and so on. But an existing role can only inherit as a menu or function if it was never assigned with transaction codes until now.

They have a very proper way of maintaining roles, now those roles they do not differ in their functionality; like the menus and the functions provided by them. They just follow different characteristics when in contact with different organization levels.
