Each site can determine the number of roles and the activity permissions assigned to each of those roles.
Permissions are assigned on a Role basis. The following is the current list of permission settings.
| Project Edit project details Add projects Delete project See all projects View document Backup project Manage project folders Create project task View test links Add/edit/delete test links View screenshot devices Select screenshot devices Add/delete documents View project languages Add/delete project languages View project tasks Add/edit/delete project task View project users’ roles Edit project users’ roles View testcases Edit testcase View Checklist Manage Checklist | Administration User management Role management Backups Statistics | Settings Manage issue fields Manage mail templates |

The following are some examples we have seen in use by ST customers: administrators, project managers, internal testers, and external testers (clients).
Login with Administrator Permission #
Administrators typically have the rights to all activities.
Login with Project Manager Permission #
Project managers typically have the rights to all activities other than Administration and System Settings.
Login with Internal QA Client Permissions #
Users with the role of QA Client may review and create new issues for all projects. They typically have no access to project-creation items.
Login with External Client Permissions #
Users with the role of External Client may review and create new issues, nothing more. They only access the projects assigned to that single client name/login.
Reviewers without Login Permission #
You can also create and e-mail an external tester link that allows a reviewer to test a survey project without logging into the SurveyTester system. The link is created on the Project Details form.
The link can be e-mailed to the external tester directly from SurveyTester (see the Mail Templates section for more information), or you can cut and paste the link and send an e-mail from your own account.
