   The view <code class="literal">applicable_roles</code> identifies all roles
   whose privileges the current user can use.  This means there is
   some chain of role grants from the current user to the role in
   question.  The current user itself is also an applicable role.  The
   set of applicable roles is generally used for permission checking.
