    Introduction
    This article provides a deep dive into the user roles shipped with Lotus Quickr services for WebSphere Portal.  To illustrate the user roles, we will discuss the welcome page and each of the nine Lotus Quickr components with respect to the four Lotus Quickr roles with the default settings.

    By default, Lotus Quickr ships with the following roles:
    • Manager - This is the role given to the creator of a place.  A manager can edit the place and control membership.  A manager can also create, edit, and delete all content within a place.
    • Editor – An editor can edit and make comments on all content and can create and delete personal content.
    • Contributor – A contributor can make comments on all content and can create and delete personal content.
    • Reader – A reader can read content and make comments.

    Welcome Page

    The welcome page is the first screen shown after you log in to Lotus Quickr.  The items that appear on the welcome page are determined by whether or not you are a Lotus Quickr administrator.  Here is a screen capture of the welcome page for an administrator:
