Names of the member roles

[leucoryx]

The names for the roles of project members is a little bit misleading. Perhaps "owner" could be changed to "maintainer".

And is it possible to write a help text for the roles to explain their privileges?

A help text is already available on the invite member page.

I think we can discuss if we need the Project Manager role (between owner and author). Things the manager can, which the author cannot:

• Update project title and description
• Export and Import
• Add, update, and delete Integrations
• Add, update, and rollback snapshots

I think all those things can be done by owner and we don't need a role which can do those things but cannot update memberships or delete the project.

Thinking about it again, maybe we do...

Maybe rolling back snapshots should be restricted to owner since it can (bulk) remove data, but so can import.

Today @MyPyDavid @CalamityC and I discussed that we keep the roles in the database what they are now. We will rename the Manager label to Project manager.

The current idea for German translations is:

• Besitzer:in
• Projektmanager:in
• Autor:in
• Gast

I think we should do this as part of the language review in 2.5.0.
