The Roles module of QMetry allows Admin to create different user roles that encompass a set of assigned rights. A user role defines user’s capability to access the modules and carry out functions under the role rights.
Once you are done with creating roles, you can assign the roles to individual QMetry users when they are added to QMetry Projects. User roles are assigned from Customization > Roles. You can change a user’s role for a Project anytime later.
On login the users will be able to view only those modules permitted to their roles. Other modules will not be visible to the users of that particular role. In case of features, they appear disabled if the role assigned to users does not have any permissions for it.
1. Expand Customization and select Roles on the side bar.
2. Click on the New button on the top right corner of the screen.
3. It opens the Create Roles screen with fields to create a new role. Enter the following details.
The matrix of Modules and Rights are available on the screen. Admins can choose to provide selective rights for the different modules.

Remember : The permissions are assigned to a Role. It means all the users with that role for that project will have similar rights over the modules.
→ User module: The following rights are made independent of each other. The control settings for deactivating the users are kept separate so that the teams can create users without the control of deactivating any existing user.
Delete
→ Project module: The following rights are independent of each other. These granular rights ensure that Create/Modify/Clone/Delete rights can be allocated separately only to the relevant users who need those permissions.
These rights are related to Project only. Release and Cycle rights are regulated separately.
System admin can regulate project admin permissions.
Project Delete: It will allow to delete only those projects which are assigned to the user. This permission does not apply on the deletion of release and cycle.
Project Clone: It will allow users to clone only those projects which are assigned to the them.
