Hello,

This is related somewhat to my questions on multiple blogs, but I figured I would give it its own thread since it's more a general curiosity than anything (and in the event it's a dumb question, better to leave it separate from the other thread). Do the default roles in the admin module do anything? Where do you set what each user role can and can't do? When I go to add a new role, all I can do is enter a general description; I'm sure that the system isn't assigning rights based on what is entered there, so where is actual role definition being done in the system?

Hi,
You are correct - role management screen exists for one sole purpose - so the user could enter as many roles as he needs. After that, you will see these roles take some sort of action in several places:
- web.config: multiple tags that allow you to define which user roles are site admins, blog admins, news admins, etc.
- page management: you can set the "view" privileges on both pages and navigation menus
- Web part properties: you can set "view" and "write" privileges on each individual Web part
- newsletter management: you can send newsletters to different roles separately
...
There are many more scenarios in which role list comes into play. This is equally important on custom projects, where you can easily check the role membership and than make various decisions based on it.
