When a user logs in, they are automatically assigned the role of authenticated user. A user will have additional roles as well as the authenticated user role according to where they are in Moodle, such as student in a course.
The default role for all logged-in users in Moodle 1.8 onwards is Authenticated user (as set in ''Administration > Users > Permissions > [[User policies]]''). In older Moodle versions the default role for all logged-in users was Guest.


The role of Authenticated user does not conflict with other roles a user may have, it just ensures that a user has capabilities that are not assignable at the course level, such as being able to post blog entries and manage own calendar etc.
By default, authenticated users have permission to edit their own profile, send messages, blog and do other things outside of courses.

When a user logs in, they are automatically assigned the role of authenticated user. A user will have additional roles as well as the authenticated user role according to where they are in Moodle, such as student in a course.

By default, authenticated users have permission to edit their own profile, send messages, blog and do other things outside of courses.
