Parent-Child Role Setup

Can you please share any documentations related to Parent-Child role set up in Saviynt? 
Also please answer the below questions.

Scenario: Currently there is a legacy IGA arrangement available to establish a parent-role relationship in existing access management tool. When user is requesting for a parent role, child role also will be automatically assigned to the user without asking any additional approval. Parent role and child role are tagged with different entitlements. So how can we set up the same configuration in Saviynt.
Are we able to tag between parent and child roles via csv upload?
Or instead, is the only way is to create only parent role in Saviynt and tag the child role entitlement in it along with other entitlements in order to provide access?
Is it possible to restrict the child role to a limited period in Parent+Child role arrangement? ie, Parent role will be assigned to the user without any validity. Child role need to be assigned only for 5 days.

--> You can also add child role entitlement directly under parent role also manually not automatically.

No child role is indirect hence no

@rushikeshvartak  : Thanks for the quick response.
I got one thought. If I create the child role as emergency access role with minimum validity, will it allow my requirement?

Child roles does not get assigned directly hence no
