#User Roles User types are used to establish how people work with the CSB installation and the projects the software uses. As a default, the following roles are defined during installation

  1. SITE_SUPERADMIN This is the account created during installation and is essentially the root user who can access anything
  2. SITE_ADMIN People managing the site should have their personal logins converted to SITE_ADMIN accounts. This kind of user can change themes, edit users' roles, and all tasks of lower-level users.
  3. SITE_MOD These users have the ability to post announcements, remove comments, and block users from being able to make comments.
  4. SITE_PROJECTLEAD In addition to all SITE_SCIENTIST tasks, these users may turn projects on and off, approve of new data being added to a project, and approve changes to priority lists. Each project can have one or more project leads, and a user can be project lead for more than one project.
  5. SITE_SCIENTIST Researchers need to be able to download all results, upload new data sets, upload new priority lists, and make project related announcements. A user can be a scientist for more than one project.
  6. SITE_HERO Hero users are folks that have their accounts high-lighted for their overall excellence, generally as seen in verified results. They may also have access to hero only projects.
  7. SITE_POWERUSER These are the folks that are there and willing to do anything / try anything. Their science results may or may not be high quality, but they can be counted on to pound on things and help out. HERO and POWERUSER status are unrelated and someone can have either or both.
  8. SITE_USER These folks have agreed to have their data used for science and software development. There should be a "I agree" screen that allows people to get this status.
