| {{Moodle 1.7}}
| | A role is a collection of permissions defined for the whole system that you can assign to specific users in specific contexts. The combination of roles and context define a specific user's ability to do something on any page. The most common examples are the roles of student and teacher in the context of a course. |

| Previous Moodle versions had predefined, fixed roles. There was no easy way to change what a teacher, or student, for instance, could do. While fixed roles are adequate for many users, others require greater flexibility in regulating how users see and interact with the system.

|
| With Roles, authorised users can [[Manage roles|create]] any number of customised roles and assign them to users. From 1.7, an organisation can create multiple roles so that, for instance, students assigned Role A could post to forums, while students assigned Role B are prevented from posting.

| Definitions
| | [[Category:Roles]] |
| *A '''role''' is an identifier of the user's status in some context. For example, teacher, student and forum moderator are examples of roles.
| |
| *A '''capability''' is a description of some particular Moodle feature. Capabilities are associated with roles. For example, mod/forum:replypost is a capability.
| |
| *A '''permission''' is [[Manage roles#Permissions|a value that is assigned]] for a capability for a particular role. For example, allow or prevent.
| |
| *A '''context''' is a "space" in the Moodle, such as courses, activity modules, blocks etc.

| ==Capabilities==
| | [[es:Roles y capacidades]] |
| | | [[eu:Rolak]] |
| Capabilities are aggregated and controlled via roles. Stated another way, a role consists of a list of capabilities for different possible actions within Moodle (eg delete discussions, add activities etc). With 1.7 it's now possible to have sophisticated yet flexible levels of control over participants and what they can or can't do.

| ==Upgrading to 1.7==
| | [[de:Rollen und Rechte]] |
| | |
| A smooth upgrade will be provided with 1.7. The existing roles (admin, teacher, student, etc), and the existing capabilities will be automatically retained. This is done by creating default roles at site/course levels, and assigning the current users to these roles accordingly. The default roles will have default capabilities associated with them, mirroring what we have in 1.6. With no modifications, Moodle will operate exactly the same before and after the upgrade.
