Roles are various sets of permissions granted to a user in Moodle. The role you are assigned dictates what privileges you have and what you can control in Moodle. The three URSA managed roles (Enrollment is automated based on data stored in URSA) are Teacher, Non-editing teacher, and Student. There are three additional roles Manual Teacher, Manual Non-Editing Teacher, and Manual Student.
URSA Managed Roles

Non-editing teacher: This role is most often used for graduate assistants. It gives the person privileges to teach in a course and grade activities, but he or she cannot add or alter course content.
Students: This role enables learners to perform allocated tasks and gives them access to resources and activities.
