[Building Sakai] Roster in create new Site

[steve patil]

now a days I am using project only, now i wants to explore course sites.could
you please explain in depth :
" the roster is a cohort of users coming from the course provider."
I could not figure out that.
I saw most of sakai tools and these are beyond expectations, really nice.
but i got doubt in course site.
what is core functional difference between course and project site?

Also I unable to use that manage group and manage access.

Regards,
Steve
