If you are talking about Role tab in portal type definition, then it 
works as follows:

Base Category is given as an argument for Base Category Script in case 
category value has to be calculated based on something. If you for 
example want to calculate group value based on group to which the person 
who created the object is assigned, you should put "group" as base 
category and ERP5Type_getSecurityCategoryFromAssignment as base category 
script.

However, if you hardcode category values (by typing
group/groupa
function/functiona
site/sitea

into Category field, you don't need any base categories - just leave it 
blank, and base category script will not be run at all.
