Is it possible to have multiple roles assigned to the end user?

can i set the role upon the registration of a new user???

Look at the interface where end users are administered.
It is possible to select just one role:

Then in Settings/Users & Permissions plugin/Advanced settings
you can select just one default role for authenticated users.

The role management in strapi follows the principle of simplicity.

Yup. You can in Settings/Users & Permissions plugin/Advanced Settings
with “Default role for authenticated users”

Can we assign an editor to authors, where in editor can only see the content created by authors assigned to him and not the contents of other authors. This is in community edition of strapi
