An example use case
Long, long ago, before we had indoor plumbing, penicillin or `civix generate:module`, a humble drupal module was born.
It tried its best to be helpful by employing an (at the time) cutting edge technique known as CRM_Utils_Migrate_Import to dump a motley collection of custom fields, profiles and options into your CiviCRM database.
Along with other cutting edge techniques (such as lobotomies), the process of automatically adding custom fields, profiles and options has been improved and now can be done with managed entities and our lovely api.
Register to participate in the upcoming training session, "Customize your Database with Custom Fields and Profiles" offered by Cividesk on Thursday, April 25th at 10 am MT/ 11 am CT/ 12 pm ET.

Taking away the need to create a new WordPress user role anytime someone needs a slightly different kind of access to CiviCRM.
