User roles make it easy to specify settings for many users by simply assigning each user a role. The role then specifies potentially dozens of things that can be done.

Which apps utilize user roles?

Roles can be used on courses, websites, communities, and file-sharing sites.

What do user roles help you control?

Roles can help you control things like which courses can be seen or modified, which resources can be seen or edited, and which community chat rooms can be configured or joined.

What are common roles in LMS systems?

Some of the most common roles found in Learning Management Systems (LMSs) include owner, admin, editor, and student.

How are roles different from users?

A limited set of roles specify exactly what can be done on each system. The many users in your system are assigned one of a few roles to specify what each user can do.

Do roles have passwords?

No, role settings do not have passwords. Each user (with a role) will have a password.
