Where are permissions inherited from?

Permissions are inherited from a role assigned in a higher-level context which has permissions set to allow for particular capabilities. If permission is “Not set” in any context and not allowed in any higher context (in particular, if you are creating or editing a role at the site level), then a user will have no permission for that capability. For example, the Student role has permission not set for the change site configuration capability. The permission is never allowed in any context so users assigned the role of Student cannot change the site configuration.
