Managing users and their rights

Every user has a role that determines their permissions on the platform.

This section describes each of the three possible user roles and then explains how to add and delete users to the Classification System and how to edit existing users.

User roles

Administrator (Admin)

Admin is the most powerful user role. It provides full control of the ICS environment. Administrators can add new classification systems, edit or delete systems created by other users in their level, and –most importantly– manage users. A user with the admin role can add new users to the ICS, change information about existing users, and remove any user from the system (even other administrators).

Moderator

Users with the role of Moderator have control over the classification system(s) assigned to them. They can add, edit, publish, and delete tables, including those created by others. They can also moderate, edit, and delete comments.

Moderators cannot change ICS settings, create new classification systems, or add new users.

Guest

Users with the role of Guest can log in to ICS and review classification systems added or created by Administrators and Moderators. They can also update their own user profiles and change their passwords. However, they cannot add or make changes to systems.
