Avalon has 4 roles that provide varying levels of access for site and collection management.
Permissions are inherited; i.e., an editor can do anything a depositor can do, a manager can do anything editors and depositors can do, and an administrator can do anything.
To be an Administrator or Manager, a user needs to be added to the corresponding "administrator and "manager" system groups. Users can be added or removed to these group by navigating to Manage Content → Manage Groups.
Any user in the application can be added to the Editor and Depositor roles within a collection. Any user in the Manager role of a collection can add or remove users from these two roles.
