+=head1 NAME
+
+Apache::loncreateuser - handler to create users and custom roles
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+Apache::loncreateuser provides an Apache handler for creating users,
+ editing their login parameters, roles, and removing roles, and
+ also creating and assigning custom roles.
+
+=head1 OVERVIEW
+
+=head2 Custom Roles
+
+In LON-CAPA, roles are actually collections of privileges. "Teaching
+Assistant", "Course Coordinator", and other such roles are really just
+collection of privileges that are useful in many circumstances.
+
+Creating custom roles can be done by the Domain Coordinator through
+the Create User functionality. That screen will show all privileges
+that can be assigned to users. For a complete list of privileges,
+please see C.
+
+Custom role definitions are stored in the C file of the role
+author.
