+After logging into LON-CAPA with your username and password, you will see a screen
+where you can select your ROLE. LON-CAPA is a roles-based system. You can always use
+the same login even though your roles may change. You can be an instructor in one

+username. Selecting \textbf{Roles} on the Main Menu will bring you back to the
+\textbf{Roles} screen.
+
+Two 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 develop
+more than one authoring space role depending on your depth of usage of LON-CAPA.
