[LON-CAPA-users] users's role?

[Mills, Douglas G]

Thanks Stuart. I was thinking there was something like that but not
finding it. I'll go with this since it's built in, but it was also working
using 

$role=substr &EXT('request.role'),0,2;

in the header and checking for $role eq 'cc' etc. in a conditional block.
