The view enabled_roles identifies the currently
"enabled roles". The enabled roles are recursively
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 "applicable roles"
is applied, which may be broader than the set of enabled roles. So
generally, it is better to use the view
applicable_roles instead of this one; see also
there.
