How Do You Define User Roles

What are user roles? A role is a collection of permissions that you can assign to specific users in specific contexts. The role is available site-wide and can be assigned to a user at site, category, course and activity level.

How do you define user roles and permissions?

A permission is the right to access one or more system objects. A role is a group of permissions. Roles can be assigned to any user or user group, and a user or user group can have more than one role.

What is difference between user and role?

A role typically defines a business function (or set of functions) performed by one or more users. Examples would be ‘customer service agent’ or ‘business analyst’. A user is an individual person who is included in the role – Bob, Nancy, and Steve might be assigned to the customer service agent role.
