Main Page > User manual > Getting started > User roles


Your user account in ICA-AtoM is tied to one of five user roles, each representing a different level of access to the system. Administrators can add and modify user roles: see manage user accounts and edit permissions.


Researcher

A researcher is any user who is not logged in and therefore has view-only access to the application. A researcher can search and browse descriptions (published archival descriptions, authority records, archival institutions)

Contributor

A contributor can search, browse, create, edit and export descriptions.


Editor

An editor can search, browse, create, edit, publish, delete and export descriptions and edit controlled vocabulary terms.


Translator

A translator can search and browse published descriptions and can translate user interface elements and database content.

A translator should be able to view draft descriptions, but not edit them. This is a known issue - see: issue 1718issue 2331

Administrator

An administrator can import, export, create, read, update, publish and delete any record in the system, can customize application to institution specific requirements, and can manage user accounts and profiles.
