==Managing roles==__NOEDITSECTION__
{{Note|Only lightMINT '''administrators''' can manage roles.}}
The page to manage roles can be accessed via '''Manage → Roles''' in the top menu.
The following roles exist by default after the installation:
* '''ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR:''' User assigned to this role are administrators of the system, i.e. they can manage the server setting, users and roles, as well as create/rename/delete folders in the repository and assign permissions.
* '''ROLE_ANONYMOUS:''' Users assigned to this role do not have any permission to view any objects or perform any actions in the system, unless explicitly defined.
* '''ROLE_USER:''' Users assigned to this role can view and schedule reports, i.e. use the system as end users, but not perform any administrative tasks such as managing the server, users and roles, and manipulating folders.
To add a role, click on the '''Add Role''' button in the top left corner of the role management interface. Only a name needs to be provided. There are two ways of assigning users to roles:
* From the role management interface, by selecting a role and clicking on '''Edit''' in the right-hand pane: users from the list of available users can be dragged to the list of assigned users, or removed from that list.
* From the user management interface, by selecting a user and clicking on '''Edit''' in the right-hand pane: roles from the list of available roles can be dragged to the list of assigned roles , or removed from that list.
