The Access Summary feature gives a summary of the access for a particular role. It shows a list of all objects the current role has access to, the level of permission and a summary of the reason 'why' these roles have access to the specified object.  

A user role may be granted access to the records of an object for a variety of reasons, including:

• Granted by an access rule - the access rule has been created to explicitly grant a role access to records of an object
• Granted by an inherited access rule - the access rule may be inherited from a parent object
• Granted by a user role -  the access rule may be included from another 'included' role
• Granted by relationship access -  access may be granted based on implicitly securing a relationship (set in the object relationship properties)
