What is the use of this tab?
Please explain.
Thanks in advance.

On the "Allow Role Overrides" page it says:
Allow the roles on the left side to override the roles in each column
I think this means if someone has several roles in certain context, then the role on the left side of the table on the "Allow Role Overrides" page will override the role at the top of each column for which the checkbox is checked.
For example someone maybe an Administrator and a teacher on a certain course. While that person is viewing stuff on the course page and its sub pages, that person will still be treated as an "Administrator" because on the "Allow Role Overrides" page the "Administrator" role is marked as overriding all other roles.

Thank you Gordon again for your help.

Gordon, nice explanation, which unfortunately is wrong. 
Thanks though for highlighting this area of misunderstanding. 
Firstly, please note that the allow role overrides page only applies to roles which have the capability to override role (in other words, the capability moodle/role:override is set to allow). By default, only admins have this capability. All the boxes in the Administrator row should be checked, meaning that admins can set role overrides for all other roles.
If you want to enable teachers to set role overrides too, you need to set the capability moodle/role:override to allow for the teacher role, then on the role overrides page select which roles they should be allowed to override. Most likely it will just be the student role (you don't want teachers to be able to override admins), so check the box where the teacher row intersects with the student column.
Abhijit and Gordon, I hope you both understand the allow role overrides page now. Please see the allow role overrides documentation for more information.
