===Allowing teachers to assign category roles===
If you wish teachers to be able to assign roles in the category context, you must ensure that the selected roles are available in the  category context and that your category teacher role has the selected role checked in ''Site administration>Accounts>Users>Permissions>Define roles>Allow role assignments.'' If you simply assign a teacher to a category without taking these extra steps, then they will see a message "You cannot assign roles" when clicking ''Category administration>Assign roles''.
