General information

Roles can be added to users in three ways:

Directly on the user (Role→User)
Inherited via a group which the user is a part of (Role→Group→User)
Inherited via a group that has the role inherited from another group (Role→Group→Group→User) (Technically, you can have unlimited groups in groups - but the groups must never create a circular reference)

Users can simultaneously have roles added directly and roles inherited via groups - having the same role added twice (or multiple times) doesn't have an impact. Removing e.g. a group with a duplicate role - will still leave your user with the role.

Roles and groups that have been inherited, will be greyed out. (You also inherit download qualities, but our current implementation does not make them show up. In a perfect world, the inherited download qualities would show up as greyed out)

If you have duplicate roles then the role will have a (+) appended

Features

The other way around - what roles and rights need to be added to enable a feature

MediaPortal_User is needed to access MM - so for all MM features below, it's given that MediaPortal_User is already enabled.

In a lot of instances, you also need read access to assets. I only scarcely add this as a right sometimes. Usually, it's self-evident that one should have read access to an asset to add it to a collection.

The Upload folder (46) is the default folder for uploading. This can be changed - and if changed, use this other folder instead.

For Keywords - Keywords (10192) is the default. This can of course also be changed - where you should use this new metadata field instead.

All users must have read rights to the following metafields:

.../Media Manager/is Public
.../Asset Info/Media Manager Menu
.../Tasks/Status
.../Tasks/Owner
.../Tasks/Message

Without these, recipients of shares can experience assets not loading.
