All participants except the course creator ( which has the role Teacher ) has the default role of student inside a course. i.e. whoever enrolls for the course gets student role by default. The Teacher can assign roles explicitly.

By default all the users with any role can view and enroll for a course. If this is not desired, the course creator can set an "Enrollment key" for that course and provide the key to desired users. A "key" sign will appear for that course in the first page.
