+Two main types of Roles exist in LON-CAPA: Authoring Roles, and Course Roles.
+Authoring roles are used to develop learning resources. The course role is where
+resources are inserted into courses. You may have multiple instances of either
+type of role. For example, each separate course has a course role. You may make use of
+more than one authoring space role depending on your involvement in collaborative
+ LON-CAPA content creation.
