h1. Roles & permissions

h2. System roles
There are 2 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 permissions only apply to public projects since a user who is not a member of a private project can not even see it.
