Roles & permissions¶
Roles lets you define the permissions that the members have on a project. Each member of a project has one or multiples Role(s) for the project. A user can have different roles for different projects.
You can create new roles or edit existing ones. You can delete a role only if nobody has this role on a project.
Roles properties¶
- Name: display name of the role
- Issues can be assigned to this role: if unchecked, issues can not be assigned to members with this role on a project.

System roles¶
There are two system roles in Redmine: 'Non member' and 'Anonymous'. They are internally used by Redmine and thus can not be deleted.
- Non member: this role lets you define the permissions that a registered user has on projects which he is not a member of.
- Anonymous: this role lets you define the permissions that anonymous users have on the projects.
Note that these two roles only apply to public projects since anonymous users and users who are not a member of a private project can not even see it.
As a consequence of the fact, that anonymous and non member roles can not be assigned to a specific user or group, but are assigned automatically, the permissions of these roles are global for a given Redmine installation. To be more concrete: You can create different developer-roles (reporter1,reporter2,...) with slightly different permissions to fit specific needs of specific projects. However: you cannot adapt anonymous and non member roles in a way, that non-members are allowed to create board-messages in one project, but are forbidden to do so in another project.
Some permissions can not be given to these roles. For example, the 'Manage members' permission can not be given to non member or anonymous users.
