Comment (by jdgrimes):

 Replying to [ticket:38298 galbaras]:
 > WordPress currently only allows the assignment of one role to a user and
 the default roles are organized hierarchically, with each one being a
 superset of the next, up to the almighty administrator role.

 For clarity, I'd like to note that this is a purely user-facing
 restriction. The underlying code all supports assigning multiple roles to
 users, that feature simply isn't provided through the UI.
