What are user roles?

Futureproofs uses the concept of user roles to control the access different users have to particular projects.

The four roles available within a project are:

• project owner - can do anything;
• proofreader - can do most things;
• author - can do some things;
• designer - can do some things.

By assigning an appropriate role to a user, the project owner can restrict their access to certain functionality (such as management reports) or present a more appropriate interface (as with the author markup mode that gives authors a more appropriate set of options during proof correction).
