1) Each role represents a security key - something an user can or cannot do. You create new roles by editing the file WEB-INF/config/permissions.xml
2) role_type equals 1 means the user can do the thing specified by the role; equals 0, it can't. role_value contains a helper value - for example, for forum id or category id.
role_type will not exist anymore in starting from JForum 2.1.7
3) No, you can't.
