When you create a Restriction for a User Role, you create a package with the Capabilities associated with that Role. If a Customer purchases access to a Restriction that protects a Role, they do not acquire the Role itself. Instead, they receive the Capabilities provided by that Role. See also: Roles and Capabilities in the WordPress Codex.
Note: There are certain WordPress Systemic Roles with special internal permissions that cannot be associated with a Restriction. These include: administrator, editor, bbp_keymaster, bbp_blocked, customer, shop_manager, and any other Administrator-like Roles detected by WooCommerce Restrictions in your installation of WordPress.
