| $roleid, | |||
| $contextid, | |||
| $overwrite = false, | |||
| array | $performancehints = [] ) |
Function to write context specific overrides, or default capabilities.
The $performancehints array can currently contain two values intended to make this faster when this function is being called in a loop, if you have already checked certain details: 'contextexists' - if we already know the contextid exists in context table ASSIGN_HINT_NO_EXISTING - if we already know there is no entry in role_capabilities matching contextid, roleid, and capability
| string | $capability | string name |
| int | $permission | CAP_ constants |
| int | $roleid | role id |
| int | context | $contextid | context id |

Returns true if the user is able to access the course.
This function is in no way, shape, or form a substitute for require_login. It should only be used in circumstances where it is not possible to call require_login such as the navigation.
This function checks many of the methods of access to a course such as the view capability, enrollments, and guest access. It also makes use of the cache generated by require_login for guest access.
The flags within the $USER object that are used here should NEVER be used outside of this function can_access_course and require_login. Doing so WILL break future versions.
| stdClass | $course | record |
| stdClass | int | null | $user | user record or id, current user if null |
| string | $withcapability | Check for this capability as well. |

| $contextlevel ) |
Aids in detecting if a new line is required when reading a new capability.
This function helps admin/roles/manage.php etc to detect if a new line should be printed when we read in a new capability. Most of the time, if the 2 components are different we should print a new line, (e.g. course system->rss client) but when we are in grade, all reports/import/export capabilities should be together

This function checks that the current user is logged in and has the required privileges.
This function checks that the current user is logged in, and optionally whether they are allowed to be in a particular course and view a particular course module. If they are not logged in, then it redirects them to the site login unless $autologinguest is set and $CFG->autologinguests is set to 1 in which case they are automatically logged in as guests. If $courseid is given and the user is not enrolled in that course then the user is redirected to the course enrolment page. If $cm is given and the course module is hidden and the user is not a teacher in the course then the user is redirected to the course home page.
When $cm parameter specified, this function sets page layout to 'module'. You need to change it manually later if some other layout needed.

| role_assign | ( | $roleid, | |
| $userid, | |||
| $contextid, | |||
| $component = '', | |||
| $itemid = 0, | |||
| $timemodified = '' ) |
This function makes a role-assignment (a role for a user in a particular context)
| int | $roleid | the role of the id |
| int | $userid | userid |
| int | context | $contextid | id of the context |
| string | $component | example 'enrol_ldap', defaults to '' which means manual assignment, |

| int | $targetrole | id of role to copy to |
| role_change_permission | ( | $roleid, | |
| $context, | |||
| $capname, | |||
| $permission ) |
More user friendly role permission changing, it should produce as few overrides as possible.
| int | $roleid | |
| stdClass | context | $context | |

| void |
| role_context_capabilities | ( | $roleid, | |

This function pulls out all the resolved capabilities (overrides and defaults) of a role used in capability overrides in contexts at a given context.
| int | $roleid | |
| context | $context | |
| string | $cap | capability, optional, defaults to '' |

| bool | $returnmenu | null means keep the same format as $roleoptions, true means id=>localname, false means id=>rolerecord |
| array | Array of context-specific role names, or role objects with a ->localname field added. |
| role_get_description | ( | stdClass | $role | ) |

| role_get_name | ( | stdClass | $role, |
| $context = null, | |||
| $rolenamedisplay = ROLENAME_ALIAS ) |

| role_get_names | ( | context | $context = null, |
| $rolenamedisplay = ROLENAME_ALIAS, | |||
| $returnmenu = null ) |

| array | of role objects with a ->localname field containing the context-specific role name. | |
| int | $rolenamedisplay | |
| bool | $returnmenu | true means id=>localname, false means id=>rolerecord |
| array | Array of context-specific role names, or role objects with a ->localname field added. |
| role_switch | ( | $roleid, | |
| context | $context ) |
Switches the current user to another role for the current session and only in the given context.
The caller must check
To "unswitch" pass 0 as the roleid.
This function will modify $USER->access - beware
| integer | $roleid | the role to switch to. |
| context | $context | the context in which to perform the switch. |
| bool | success or failure. |
| role_unassign | ( | $roleid, | |
| $userid, | |||
| $contextid, | |||
| $component = '', | |||
| $itemid = 0 ) |
Removes one role assignment.
| int | $roleid | |
| int | $userid | |
| int | $contextid | |
| string | $component | |
| int | $itemid |
| void |
| role_unassign_all | ( | array | $params, |

Throws exceptions in case of error.
| integer | $roleid | the id of a role. |
| array | $contextlevels | the context levels at which this role should be assignable, duplicate levels are removed. |
| void |
| sort_by_roleassignment_authority | ( | $users, | |
| context | $context, | ||
| $roles = array(), | |||
| $sortpolicy = 'locality' ) |
Re-sort a users array based on a sorting policy.
Will re-sort a $users results array (from get_users_by_capability(), usually) based on a sorting policy. This is to support the odd practice of sorting teachers by 'authority', where authority was "lowest id of the role assignment".
Will execute 1 database query. Only suitable for small numbers of users, as it uses an u.id IN() clause.
Notes about the sorting criteria.
As a default, we cannot rely on role.sortorder because then admins/coursecreators will always win. That is why the sane rule "is locality matters most", with sortorder as 2nd consideration.
If you want role.sortorder, use the 'sortorder' policy, and name explicitly what roles you want to cover. It's probably a good idea to see what roles have the capabilities you want (array_diff() them against roiles that have 'can-do-anything' to weed out admin-ish roles. Or fetch a list of roles from variables like $CFG->coursecontact .
| array | $users | Users array, keyed on userid |
| context | $context | |
| array | $roles | ids of the roles to include, optional |
| string | $sortpolicy | defaults to locality, more about |
| array | sorted copy of the array |
| switch_roles | ( | $first, | |
| $second ) |
Switch the sort order of two roles (used in admin/roles/manage.php).
| stdClass | $first | The first role. Actually, only ->sortorder is used. |
| stdClass | $second | The second role. Actually, only ->sortorder is used. |
| boolean | success or failure |
| unassign_capability | ( | $capability, | |
| $roleid, | |||
| $contextid = null ) |
Unassign a capability from a role.
| string | $capability | the name of the capability |
| int | $roleid | the role id |
| int | context | $contextid | null means all contexts |
| boolean | true or exception |
| user_can_assign | ( | context | $context, |
| $targetroleid ) |
Checks if a user can assign users to a particular role in this context.
| context | $context | |
| int | $targetroleid | - the id of the role you want to assign users to |
| boolean |
| user_has_role_assignment | ( | $userid, | |
| $roleid, | |||
| $contextid = 0 ) |
Simple function returning a boolean true if user has roles in context or parent contexts, otherwise false.
| int | $userid | |
| int | $roleid | |
| int | $contextid | empty means any context |
| bool |
| const CONTEXT_BLOCK 80 |
Block context level - one instance for each block, sticky blocks are tricky because ppl think they should be able to override them at lower contexts.
Any other context level instance can be parent of block context.
