Roles
Define the bundles of access rights that determine what users can do in Lunr, assign them to groups, and look up every access right Lunr offers, grouped by the area it governs.
Overview
A Role is a named bundle of access rights. Roles are not assigned to people directly: they are mapped to Groups, and users inherit a role through the groups they belong to.
This means a role is the place to decide what a job function is allowed to do, and a group is the place to decide who performs that job function.
Managing Roles
The Roles page lists the roles in your organisation. Select Add Role to create a new role.

Select a role to open it. A role's page carries three tabs:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Details | The name and a summary of the role. |
| Access Rights | The rights granted to the role. This is where you decide what the role can do, and every right is listed under Available Access Rights below. |
| Permissions | The permissions held by the role. |
To see which groups, and therefore which users, hold a role, open the group instead and check its Roles tab. There is no equivalent list of members on the role's own page.
Deleting a role has no confirmation prompt
Selecting Delete from a role's Options menu removes the role immediately, with no confirmation dialog. Deleting a role affects every group linked to it, so check the group assignments before you delete one.
Available Access Rights
The Access Rights tab lists every right Lunr defines, grouped by the area it governs. Select a right to grant it to the role, and clear it to revoke it.
The tables below give each right as the Access Rights tab shows it beside its toggle, and what it allows.

Each right saves immediately when you select or clear it; there is no separate Save button for the tab. If a toggle fails to save, it reverts to its previous state and shows an error.
Rights accumulate rather than compete. A user holds the sum of the rights carried by every role their groups hold, so a right granted anywhere is granted, and removing it means removing it from each role that carries it.
You may not see every right below. A right belonging to a feature your organisation has not enabled does not appear.
