About User Roles
All person profiles require that a default User Role be assigned to the profile at the Site Level. When a Site User profile is added to a Project, this default role is used to define the out of the box Project Member Permissions that will be assigned to that user's project member profile. Once the role permissions are defined on the project, the permissions can then be further customized per project.
As a reminder Project Member Permissions control what Project Members, or collaborators, can do and see within the project. Folder permissions are separate and will need to be set on a per project basis.
It is important to understand that a Role in the StratusVue Website Solution is all about permissions, nothing to do with a User's Job Title.
