project collaborators can have one of five roles, instead of just two #686

I think there is a mistake in the paragraph on Project collaborators in the Technical reference.
https://docs.qfield.org/reference/qfieldcloud/concepts/#project-collaborators

The third sentence is:

Collaborators can either have the role owner or admin.

This is not true, is it? According to the diagram just above this paragraph collaborators can have one of five roles, from admin to reader. This is also seen in the Permissions page where five different collaborator roles are identified (nr. 4-8)

And to improve this section, it would be great to point out the most suitable role for a project manager and for a fieldworker. These two persona's have been introduced in the previous chapter Workflow.
In a multi-user project, am I correct in assuming the most suitable role for a fieldworker is "reporter" (so the fieldworker can add new objects (features) and edit existing ones, maybe even deleting object. And the most suitable role for a project manager is 'editor' or even 'manager' if the project manager is allowed to add new collaborators to a project?
