Managing member permissions

There are four roles which project members can have within a Trap.NZ project: Trapper, Advanced trapper, Manager, and Administrator (note that some roles were renamed in November 2021). Roles are used to grant assorted permissions to project members.

By default, all new members are assigned as Trapper and can be given broader permissions by an Administrator of the project.
