Roles and Permission

Question

Hi,
  I would like to understand the concept of permission a little better.
  I have create a Role and assigned it to the a newly creeated test user. The User has only one other role 'eu_role' ( SAP's Standard user role).
  When I look into the permission editor for the custom role the only user that have end user box as checked is system_admin_role.
My point is since the user ( to whom this role is assigned) doesn't belong to the super_admin category, he should not see the Role when he logs in. However the role is appearing as the user logs in.
  In that circumstances , I am failing to understand the function of the permision provided in the permission editor,
Can any bosy help?
Thanks
Arun

Hi,
I am sorry if I confused both of you.
Here is my point.
  I created an user( say usr01) and by default this user is already assigned the eu_role( actually by default the user is assigned to group 'Everyone' which inturn is assigned to this role 'eu_role') . Now I have created another Role ( SAY role1) and assigned it the user usr01.
Now when the user usr01 logs in the menus related to role1 appears. please look at the permission editor set up as shown below
Name                 Administrator   end user
Administrator          none            Not checked
content_admin_role     Read            Not checked
Everyone               Read            Everyone
super_admin_role       Owner           checked
system_admin_role      Full control    Not checked
user_admin_role        none            Not checked
Dose any of the above setting influence whether the usr01 will be able to see the role after loging to the portal. Can we change the permission in such a way so that despite being asigned to the role role1 the user usr01 IS NOT ABLE to access/see the menu items for the role
In otherword what are the significance of the settings above in th epermision editor for the role.
Thanks
Arun
