Moodle 2.0
Overview
The Roles in Moodle 2.0 are substantially the same as they have been in previous versions of Moodle. For information about these roles please review the Roles FAQ and other Roles and Capabilities Moodle Docs.
Are there any different Roles then?
Yes there are. There are two "new" roles. The first change is that the Role of Administrator is now termed "Manager". The other change is that there is a different Role for people who have logged in and are at the Front Page and the Role they have when navigating to a Course. This new Role is called "Authenticated User on Front Page". There are now eight Roles.
