System Roles permissions are set in each user's profile through the following check boxes.

This role is responsible for setting up all global data reporting fields for use by the project managers (i.e. project types, project status, custom data fields), the Edit Navigation & Content section, all item-based permissions, all communications permissions and all item display properties. This role is normally also assigned to the User Manager role as well.
User Manager: Allows the user to manage and add new companies, groups and users. This role is normally assigned to the same users with the System Administrator role. This role alone does not have the ability to view financial information within the system.
Company Manager: Allows the user to manage and add new companies and contracts.

Resource Manager: Allows the user to add resources to projects.
Issue Manager: Allows the user to manage issues.
Expense Report Approver: Allows the user to approve expense reports for themselves and other system members. This user will be available for selection by any user whenever the user saves time sheets for routing through the approval process. This user will also be available for selection as the "Default Expense Sheet Approver" in every user’s profile settings.
Time Sheet Approver: Allows the user to approve time sheets for themselves and other system members.

Team Member Roles
Project Report Viewer: Allows the user to view project reports and project financial information. A report viewer automatically sees all data within which they have read access, not just the data from projects within which they assigned as resources. Data which they do not have read access to view remains restricted.
Resource Allocation Viewer: Allows the user to view resource allocation reports.
Time/Expense Report Viewer: Allows the user to view time and expense reports for all resources, companies and projects. Lack of permission to read the projects within which this data is contained does not restrict these reports. All time and expense is reported even if access when clicking on related information, such as the view of a project task list, results in a permissions error.
Project Resource: Placeholder now have their own section. Please see the Placeholder Resource article for more info.
Placeholder Resource: Allows the user to be assigned as a "place holder", this is generally not a real person. These types of users are excluded from availability/capacity calculations, cannot be active).
Edit Profile: This is the lowest level "team member" role and only allows the user to edit their profile online, update tasks and report time against tasks assigned to them. This role is normally allowed for all users so that they can make non-administrative changes to their user settings (i.e. password and nightly report settings).
Create/Edit Reports: Allows team members to create reports for data they can see. What they can see is governed by the roles above. If they have no other report granting system roles, they can create reports for data pertaining to themselves.
