>   The view <TT

   <SPAN

   defined as the current user together with all roles that have been
   granted to the enabled roles with automatic inheritance.  In other
   words, these are all roles that the current user has direct or
   indirect, automatically inheriting membership in.

>   For permission checking, the set of <SPAN

   is applied, which can be broader than the set of enabled roles.  So
   generally, it is better to use the view
   <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

   there.
