Klaros-Testmanagement defines three roles that a user can be assigned to: Administrator, Manager and Tester. An administrator is able to create other users of the role Administrator, Manager and Tester. A manager is able to create other users with the role Tester. A tester user cannot create any other user.

The Administrator has access to all functionalities available in Klaros-Testmanagement and is the only user that can edit preferences such as e-mail settings, issue management server locations, status message preferences and general parameters, as described in Chapter 8, Configure.

The Manager has access to all functionalities except editing the preferences mentioned above. He is able to create, edit, delete and search for artifacts, show results, run test cases and test suites and generate reports. The artifacts are the projects, test environments, systems under test, test cases and test suites.

The Tester has less permissions than the manager. He is only able to search for objects, inspect results and execute test cases and test suites.

For a detailed view of the permissions please consult the permission matrix in Appendix A, Role Permission Overview.
