FootPrints comes with a number of built-in permission roles (also called "user types") to assign to users of the system. Each role includes a variety of permission options that dictate what users can and cannot do within a FootPrints project. An administrator can define and change which actions users of that role type can perform. In addition, an unlimited number of custom roles can be created.
Roles can be defined at both the Project and system Level. System roles are not automatically assigned to users. Instead, they can be created by the System Administrator to be used by Project Administrators in their Projects. This is an easy way to create standard roles that can be maintained in one place and that are constant throughout the system.
Refer to User Roles under Project Administration for complete instructions.
