   =head1 OVERVIEW
   
   =head2 Choosing Roles
   
   C<lonroles> is a handler that allows a user to switch roles in
   mid-session. LON-CAPA attempts to work with "No Role Specified", the
   default role that a user has before selecting a role, as widely as
   possible, but certain handlers for example need specification which
   course they should act on, etc. Both in this scenario, and when the
   handler determines via C<lonnet>'s C<&allowed> function that a certain
   action is not allowed, C<lonroles> is used as error handler. This
   allows the user to select another role which may have permission to do
   what they were trying to do. C<lonroles> can also be accessed via the
   B<CRS> button in the Remote Control.

   =head2 Role Initialization
   
   The privileges for a user are established at login time and stored in the session environment. As a consequence, a new role does not become active till the next login. Handlers are able to query for privileges using C<lonnet>'s C<&allowed> function. When a user first logs in, their role is the "common" role, which means that they have the sum of all of their privileges. During a session it might become necessary to choose a particular role, which as a consequence also limits the user to only the privileges in that particular role.
