Newbie trying to understand Roles

Newbie trying to understand Roles

I'm a newbie to Moodle and am considering it for deployment in a corporate training environment.

We want to create a course and filter the content users see based on their job title.  For example, all employees will see the standard policy & procedures, where managers will see additional material that will be hidden from general employees.

I'm assuming Roles could do this for me by creating two roles and assigning users to them.  Could then mark context available for employees, mangers or both?

I've spent quite a while trying playing with setting up roles and assigning users, creating courses with default roles, etc.  Does anyone know somewhere I can get a good overview of how roles work.  I've been through the Moodle doc but can't totally grasp the concept and application of the roles yet.

Thanks

Why don't you separate each person type in a specific course and give them the role of student?

1. A course for managers

2. A course for employees

3. A Metacourse where they will all meet in the activities you want to be common.

Hope I could help
