There are two different concepts in Roles and permissions.
When a user is in multiple rules the system will give the user the most access possible in terms of permissions to view edit add and delete records.
But you are right that when it comes to which dashboard the user lands on or which table icons are visible to the user then that is determined by the highest role they are in. As you have probably discovered you can drag and drop the rolls up and down in the hierarchy sequence.
