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 [edit]

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 [edit]

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

Editor [edit]

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

Translator [edit]

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

Administrator [edit]

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.
