What is Role? 

A role is a relationship between a certain user and your organization. Users can either be teachers, students, editors (in the platform), etc. 

 What are permissions? 

A permission is an action that a certain role can either perform or not. For example, a user with a teacher role can create tests, while a user with a student role can take the tests created by a teacher.
