By assigning a role to a user in a context, you
|
|
|
|
|
are granting them the permissions contained
|
|
|
|
|
in that role, for the current context and all
|
|
|
|
|
"lower" contexts.

<li>Front page (the "site course")</li>

<li>Courses</li>

<li>Blocks and Activities</li>

So for example, if you grant a Student role to a
|
|
|
|
|
user in a Course, they will have that role for
|
|
|
|
|
the course, but also all Blocks and Activities inside
|
|
|
|
|
that course. Their actual permissions may depend on
|
|
|
|
|
other roles and overrides that have been defined.
