This is a frequently asked question, but an improper one. The correct question is "What are my permissions here?" In any given context, you often have two or more roles. In addition, one or more role overrides may be in effect. Your permissions in a given context are a result of "adding" the individual permissions from these roles and overrides according to certain rules. As Tim Hunt writes in this discussion, the rules "normally do what you expect." However when permissions conflict, the results can be surprising, and it pays to understand How permissions are calculated.

Do roles have an inheritance relationship in BigGyan Cloude eLearning?
* When you create a new role by copying an existing role, it is just like copying a file: the original and the copy are identical at the outset, but the copy has no ongoing relationship with the original. Changes to the original do not affect the copy and vice versa.* When you create a new role and select a value such as LEGACY:Student from the Legacy role type dropdown, you are not "inheriting" from the Student role. You are simply indicating that you want your role to have the same defaults as Student.* Course creator does not "inherit" from Teacher (a common misconception). As with all roles, the two roles are completely independent. Course creator is actually a very simple role that can basically only create courses and not much else. However a user who creates a course is automatically assigned the role of Teacher in the newly-created course. This is how a course creator gets her teaching abilities within a course.
