User Roles

Every registered user is an account user that has the right to create own collections.

For special purposes (e.g. for students), accounts are needed that have special rights for the context of one or several collections, but do not have the right to create own collections.

1. Privilege assignment for "normal" users:
   • User A already has an account --> user B only has to give user A the rights for one collection of user B
2. Privilege assignment for "restricted" users:
   • User A creates a collection. Then he has to create user C and give him the Picture Editing rights for his collection. But user C always has the possibility to create his own account where he has the rights to create own collections.

• It should be possible that every user can create his own account. If that can not be possible from the beginning, they should send us an e-mail and we will create the account for them.
• The collection administrator can assign priviledges for the collection he is administrating to all account users.
