- Clarification of possibility of more than one (co-)authoring role.

\label{Roles_Screen}
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.
