+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 
+class, a TA for another class, and an author of resources -- all with the same 
+username. Selecting \textbf{Roles} at the top right of a page, or 
+\textbf{Switch to another user role} on the Main Menu page will bring you back to the
+\textbf{Roles} screen. 
+
+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.
