=head1 NAME
Apache::lonroles - User Roles Screen
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Invoked by /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf:
<Location /adm/roles>
PerlAccessHandler Apache::lonacc
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::lonroles
ErrorDocument 403 /adm/login
ErrorDocument 500 /adm/errorhandler
</Location>
=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.

\end{figure}
=end latex
=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.
=head1 INTRODUCTION
This module enables a user to select what role he wishes to
operate under (instructor, student, teaching assistant, course
coordinator, etc). These roles are pre-established by the actions
of upper-level users.
This is part of the LearningOnline Network with CAPA project
described at http://www.lon-capa.org.
=head1 HANDLER SUBROUTINE
This routine is called by Apache and mod_perl.
