It *is* pretty straightforward, but it should still be documented. There was a 
ticket for this (MH-7787) which, though begun (there's text describing the 
basic functionality and the out-of-the-box roles), was never completed (we 
needed somebody to explain how to add users and roles). 
I've now added the text I wrote to the 1.2 FAQ (the text was too long so I made 
it a child page 
<http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MHDOC/Explanation+of+View+Access+Privileges>,
 adding a link (as an example) to the USask documentation of their LDAP 
integration. It's still missing information about how to assign roles in the 
database. Also, if anyone knows of the right place to put documentation like 
this (that's not really development documentation and not really only release 
documentation), let me know. 

As far as UI goes, the one thing we do have is the "Users" tab. Though hidden, 
it offers the basic ability to assign roles to users. To unhide it, set 
prop.adminui.i18n_tab_users.enable=true in the configuration file.
