What information is available to a user, what activities he may carry out, what projects he may work with?

You can answer these questions by assigning access rights.
You can define the rights of the user roles by clicking on the menu item Administration/User roles.
You can determine the rights of the folder roles by clicking the menu item Administration / Folder roles.

Rillsoft Integration Server provides two types of roles  
to configure access rights of a user flexible and versatile:

- user roles
- folder roles

**User roles**

User roles do not depend on folder and assign access rights for:

- the resource pool,
- the user management, 
- Modules iCalendar and Timeline,
- working with the portfolio.

**Folder roles**

The projects can be grouped in the integration server in a multi-stage structure together. This structure is available in the menu item **Folders**.

In addition, folder roles are responsible for access rights to the folders.
This allows you to determine how (read, change, etc.) and what projects the users may work with, by defining the appropriate folder roles for different folders.

In addition, portfolio functioning is influenced by folder roles work because a portfolio consists of projects, which are saved in different folders.

For example, the user Doe has mechanical engineering for clients:

- User roles as project manager, iCalendar user and timeline user
- Folder role as the root folder user
