As a consequence, a new role does not become active till the next login. Handlers are able to query for privileges using C's C<&allowed> function. When a user first logs in, their role is the "common" role, which means that they have the sum of all of their privileges. During a session it might become necessary to choose a particular role, which as a consequence also limits the user to only the privileges in that particular role. + =head1 INTRODUCTION This module enables a user to select what role he wishes to
