   1 <h1>Assigning Roles</h1>

   3 <p>
   4 By assigning a role to a user in a context, you
   5 are granting them the permissions contained
   6 in that role, for the current context and all
   7 "lower" contexts.

  11 Contexts:
  12 </p>
  13 <ol>
  14 <li>Site/System</li>
  15 <li>Course Categories</li>
  16 <li>Courses</li>
  17 <li>Blocks and Activities</li>
  18 </ol>
  19
  20 <p>
  21 So for example, if you grant a Student role to a
  22 user in a Course, they will have that role for
  23 the course, but also all Blocks and Activities inside
  24 that course.  Their actual permissions may depend on
  25 other roles and overrides that have been defined.
