The meaning of "be supposed to"

I think "be supposed to" has some different meanings.

I have known that it means both "have to do someting" and "It is considered to do someting".

I want to know what I have know is correct or not. And also if there are some another meanings of it, I want to know that. Emotion: smile Thank you!
