====== User Roles & Permission ======

===== User Roles =====

In Lookafter File, there are 3 different user roles:

^Role^Description^
|**Admin**| This role has the access to user and file management. |
|**User**| A regular user that can access the system by logging in. Each user can be enabled with different [[#user_permissions|permissions]] and [[laf:get_started:defining_home_folder_for_users|home folder]].|
|**Guest**|A predefined account for anonymous use (without logging in).|

===== User Permissions =====
There are 6 different user permissions that admin can assign to each user:

^Permission^Description^
|**Read**|Allows user to browse and list files and folders.|
|**Write**|Allows user to copy, move, rename, and delete files.|
|**Upload**|Allows user to upload files.|
|**Download**|Allows user to download files.|
|**Batch Download**|Allows user to download multiple files and folders at once.|
|**Zip**|Allows user to zip and unzip files.|

Note: Some permissions require others. E.g., Batch Download requires Read permissions (so that user can list files and select them) as well as basic Download permissions.
