Role

Every FreeSewing user has a role that determines their privileges on the site.

You can see your role on your account page under info. Or navigate to /id and — if you are logged in — you will see your role there.

The following roles exist:

• user
• bughunter
• support
• admin

User

More that 99.99% of FreeSewing users have the user role. It is the default role, and it is exceedingly rare to have a user that has a different role.

Bughunter

The bughunter role grants you permission to read measurments and patterns data from other users.

It is a role that is reserved for people in the community who want to help other users troubleshoot their patterns.

Support

The support role grants you permission to read all account data from other users.

It is a role reserved for contributors who hunt down bugs reported by users.

Admin

The admin role grants you all permissions, including changing the roles of other users.

Only joost holds the admin role.
