Moodle LMS administrators use a very specific set of vocabulary. For example, a "course" in Moodle has only one definition. It is the space on Moodle where teachers add activities and resources for their students. It is important that you also use this vocabulary to prevent mistakes and to streamline communication. For example, if you tell a Moodle administrator to delete a “course” when you actually mean a SCORM package, you will be very unhappy when 100% of your English 101 activities and resources suddenly disappear and your students can no longer find English 101 in their catalog.
Here are the definitions of Role and Permissions and some links where you can find more information.
Role- A role is a collection of permissions defined for the whole system that you can assign to specific users in specific contexts. The combination of roles and context define a specific user's ability to do something on any page. The most common examples are the roles of student and teacher in the context of a course.
This term is commonly confused with permissions. You can read more about roles here: docs.moodle.or...
Permissions- These are the specific actions and abilities that define a role. They can be edited or overridden to change what a role can or cannot do. For example, normally the student role does not have the correct permission to be able to moderate a forum in a course. However, if a teacher would like to grant a user with the student role the ability to moderate a specific forum, they can override the permission for that specific context.
