David, I'm not sure if you got an answer or not. I am new to this, and I'm not sure what caused your issue, but if you log into Moodle as admin, then under Users / Permissions you will have the capability to Define roles. Under Course creator at the right side, you can edit the roles. I was not able to do this from my XO as mentioned at the bottom of the Wiki clip below. I was able to do it from a non-XO by connecting to the AP and using a browser to login to the schoolserver with the information given below.

Wiki excerpt
Logging in with the admin account

Use at your own risk! Direct access to the admin account is not recommended. It may break your Moodle-on-XS today, or it may lead to breakage on upgrades.
Normally the account is disabled (and only enabled at upgrade time). Enable the account with
sudo -u apache php /var/www/moodle/web/local/scripts/adminuser-enable.php
After each upgrade, the account will be disabled again.
Look at the password - it is different for every XS:
cat /etc/moodle/adminpw
Login with the username admin.
If you are logging in from an XO which auto-logins using your registered account, you can access the login page directly by editing the URL to say http://servername/moodle/login/. You can use this form even if you are logged in.
