+ =head1 NAME
+ Apache::loncreateuser - handler to create users and custom roles
+ =head1 SYNOPSIS
+ Apache::loncreateuser provides an Apache handler for creating users,
+     editing their login parameters, roles, and removing roles, and
+     also creating and assigning custom roles.
+ =head1 OVERVIEW
+ =head2 Custom Roles
+ In LON-CAPA, roles are actually collections of privileges. "Teaching
+ Assistant", "Course Coordinator", and other such roles are really just
+ collection of privileges that are useful in many circumstances.
+ Creating custom roles can be done by the Domain Coordinator through
+ the Create User functionality. That screen will show all privileges
+ that can be assigned to users. For a complete list of privileges,
+ please see C</home/httpd/lonTabs/rolesplain.tab>.
+ Custom role definitions are stored in the C<roles.db> file of the role
+ author.
