In a similar way that user types are used to determine general access to the system for types of users, roles are used to define access rights to specific projects for certain users. In other words using roles we can assign different roles to the same person for different projects.
For example, John could be the Project Manager for Project A, while he is on the Tender Committee for Project B. This means that he has different access and rights on the two projects. However John might belong to the Administrator user type, which means that outside of projects he still also has other general access rights that don't relate to a specific project.
To add a new project role, right click on the group (internal or vendor) that you would like to add it to and select Add Role. You may now enter a name for the role and press Enter to save it.
You may also copy a role. This is a quick way of creating a new role similar to an existing one.
