The user profile page(s) has a roles tab where one can assign roles. I can't think/understand what affect this might have. What context are we in here?
Hi Howard,
The roles tab in a user profile page is for assigning a role in the user context. The Parent role is an example of a role assigned in the user context.

Hello
Do you know how to get that roles tab appear on a user profile? I'm in version 1.9.1 I'm trying to make it so that a teacher can add a Personal tutor to a learner where a Personal tutor is a role I have created to use with the ILP module and added to the student via the Mentees thing.
I can only see the roles tab when I log in as an administrator. I've tried adjusting the teacher role at site level (Users - edit user profile - allow).
Thanks

Hi Heather,
The reason why the roles tab doesn't appear when teachers view user profiles is because the user context is outside/separate from the course context. Users are generally assigned the role of teacher in the course context.
To enable a non-admin user to view the roles tab in a user profile page, you would need to create a new role with permission to assign roles and then assign it as a system role (via Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Assign system roles). You would also need to select which role(s) the user could assign on the "Allow role assignments" page.
