Roles can be added to users in two ways:
As of 5.2.0, groups can also inherit roles via other groups, meaning that users can also inherit their roles (and rights for that matter) via a group that inherits from another group. Users can simultaneously have roles added directly and roles inherited via groups. |

| # | Roles | DC | MM | Marked for deletion by: | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Administrator | ✓ | ✗ | LS | Not implemented - to be deleted |
| 2 | Ai_Add | ✗ | ✓ | Enables you to use AI tagging on images. Requires additional setup if you don't want to use Digizuite's Azure account for it. Requires an EditMultiComboVlaue to be defined in MM's config manager. | |
| 3 | Ai_Translate | ✗ | ✗ | Not yet implemented | |
| 4 | Asset_Can_Crop | ✗ | ✓ | Is the gateway to use crop. On its own, it only supports sending out "crops" via email. This role can be combined with "Asset_Can_Revise" to make an asset have crops as children - and "Asset_Can_Replace" which enables the crop to supersede the asset being cropped- | |
| 5 | Asset_Can_Delete_Permanently | ✓ | ✗ | Enables one to remove an asset + all its metadata from all places (storage, Azure storage, database) | |
| 6 | Asset_Can_Download | ✗ | ✓ | Enables one to download an asset and print published assets (assets without a lock). You need to have download qualities added, to be able to download assets. These are assigned via groups. Groups with download qualities are: "Guest", "Light Users", "Content Creators", "Administrators", and "Super Administrators" | |
| 7 | Asset_Can_Download_Custom_Quality | ✗ | ✓ | Gives one the option to download an asset in either another colorspace (e.g. sRGB, greyscale) or another filetype (jpg, png) | |
| 8 | Asset_Can_Replace | ✓ | ✓ | Enables assets to be replaced via the MM. It requires "write rights" to the asset to work. It also allows for assets to be replaced by crops + it enables restoring older versions of the asset via the "Asset history" (Effectively reverting a replace) | |
| 9 | Asset_Can_Revise | ✗ | ✓ | Enables one to make crops into child assets | |
| 10 | AuditTrail_View | ✗ | ✓ | Enables one to look at all assets' audit trail (basically metadata history). Please be aware that very few things are "audited" out of the box | |
| 11 | Can_Change_Styling_And_Theming | ✗ | ✓ | Gives one the ability to change the channel's logo and color (theming/styling) via the MM | |
| 12 | Can_Edit_Automation_Workflow | ✗ | ✓ | Allows the user to edit automation workflows | |
| 13 | Can_Live_Export_Asset_Only | ✗ | ✓ | Allows the user to create an export that contains only assets | |

| 17 | Can_View_Logs | ✗ | ✓ | Allows the user to view some logs directly in the MM UI | |
| 18 | Can_Force_Unlock_Office_Document (Added with OC) | ✗ | ✓ | Enables one to remove a lock off of a locked Office document. If an Office asset is locked, then opening it via the Office Connector will not enable one to update/replace the asset via the connector.

| 19 | Can_Open_Office_Documents (Added with OC) | ✗ | ✓ | Enables one to open Office documents in the Office Connector via the MM. Supports PowerPoints, Word, and Excel formats (incl. macros and templates) | |

| 25 | Editor_Portal_Admin | ✓ | ✗ | LS | Does nothing beyond what "Editor_Portal" already does. Deprecated. |
| 26 | Editor_SystemTools_AllwaysAllowItemSecurityEdit | ✓ | ✓ | Gives you read access to everything you've added - e.g. makes all Catalog and Channel folders appear if you've added "Editor_Catalogs" and "Editor_Portal". It only in the DC - It does not give you read access to the added assets in the MM, even though you seemingly have read access to them when you look at it Channels in DC. With this, you can give yourself (and others) write access to folders you don't have write access to. It also adds "System Tools" to the left side menu - but it is blank - meaning that there are not any system tools in it. It opens up for access to content in Media Manager. Here this role gives you high-level access. | |

| 28 | Editor_SystemTools_Dam | ✓ | ✗ | Enables one to select all catalog and channel folders in System tools → Workflow → AssetSyncFolder → "Sync rootfolder"/"Destination folder". Without this role, one can only select folders that you have read-access to. | |

| 52 | MediaPortal_Asset_Replacer | ✗ | ✓ | SF | Not implemented - to be deleted - Use "Asset_Can_Replace" instead |
| 53 | MediaPortal_Asset_Unpublisher | ✗ | ✓ | SF | Not implemented - to be deleted |
| 54 | MediaPortal_Can_Preview_Office | ✗ | ✓ | Enables one to use Online Office to preview Office documents. This requires the site to be accessible from the outside (i.e. only works on sites where VPN isn't needed to access the site). It can be accessed by previewing, the same way you would an image. | |
| 55 | MediaPortal_Collection | ✗ | ✓ | Enables users to Create, Update (their own), and Delete (their own) collections. All users can Read collections - though they have to be accessed via mail | |

Enabling this gives you the ability to share assets via: URL, Zip (email), social media - and if collections are enabled one can also share assets via: New collection (create new), and Existing collection (add to existing). If collections are enabled, one can share them via: Zip (a package over mail), Social media, and Collection (give people rights to preview the collection from MM) If the following is enabled "Give new recipients of non-social collections (e.g. not Facebook collections) access to manipulate collections:" via config manager, the recipient will be able to CRUD the collection, else the recipient will only be able to Read the collection. Sharing over social media makes the shared asset publicly available. One needs to manually revoke the read rights on the asset level, to make it internal again. | |
| 64 | MediaPortal_Uploader | ✗ | ✓ | Gives one the ability to upload via the MM (one still needs "write rights" to the Upload folder though - the "Trusted" role will give you this) + shows the "your uploads" | |
| 65 | MediaPortal_User | ✗ | ✓ | Required to access to MM | |
| 66 | MediaPortal_Video_Embed | ✗ | ✓ | Requires "MediaPortal_Share" + some settings in CondigManager to work (See the table in the bottom of this page - ctrl+f "embed") Adds embed as a sharing option. It only works with videos. | |

| 68 | RunningJobs_ChangePriority | ✗ | ✗ | Might be reintroduced in the future | |
| 69 | RunningJobs_EditAll | ✓ | ✗ | Gives you Write rights to all jobs in "Running jobs". It gives you the ability to press "Upload again" and "Retry". It does not require "RunningJobs_EditOwn" in order to work. Requires "RunningJobs_View" - else you won't see any jobs. | |

| 71 | RunningJobs_View | ✓ | ✗ | It gives you the ability to see your own running jobs. With this, you'll also be able to see how many jobs are failed/waiting/running - just now which jobs it is and who's jobs it is. Only gives Read access. | |
| 72 | RunningJobs_ViewAll | ✓ | ✗ | Gives you Read access to all running jobs. Meaning that you cannot e.g. restart them if you've failed. Doesn't require "RunningJobs_View" in order to work. | |
| 73 | Saved_Searches_CRUD | ✗ | ✓ | Enables one to CRUD one's own saved searches. One can also share them without having the "share role" enabled | |
| 74 | Upload_Only | ✓ | ✗ | If this is enabled, accessing the DC will put you into a "write-only" mode - e.g. for photographers, who should not have read access but write access. Requires "write access" to the Uploads folder in order to work. | |
| 75 | Uploader | ✗ | ✗ | LS | Unused. |
| 76 | Uploader_ReplaceWithArchive | ✓ | ✗ | LS | Unused. |

| 83 | WorkStages_View | ✗ | ✓ | Enables you to get the "Asset Status --> My tasks" | |
| 84 | WorkStages_View_Others | ✗ | ✓ | Enables you to get the "Asset Status --> All tasks". It requires that "WorkStages_View" is also set to work. | |
