Audience and roles
HORTUS is public-first, but capabilities expand after sign-in and role activation.
| Role | What you can usually do | Typical chapters |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor | Browse published projects, events, experts, marketplace items, News, public support content, and a large part of the public shell. | Ch. 1-3, 9 |
| Signed-in user | Manage a profile, receive notifications, use messaging, save favourites, follow searches, and work in personal workspace areas. | Ch. 1-6, 9 |
| Contributor / researcher | Create resources, propose metadata formats, create project/event/news content where permitted, submit items to moderation, and track lifecycle status. | Ch. 3-8 |
| Maintainer / project lead | Steward project pages, manage membership, organise events, curate linked content, and work with moderated contribution queues. | Ch. 3, 5-9 |
| Moderator / administrator | Approve or reject pending items, supervise quality gates, and keep user-facing content consistent and supportable. | Ch. 7, 9 |
Important after registration
- Creating an account does not always activate contributor rights immediately.
- After registration, send an activation request to service-desk@itserr.it.
- Use that email to request the role and permissions you need, such as contributor, researcher, or project-related rights.
- If a creation or moderation-related button is missing, verify your role activation before assuming that the feature is unavailable in your environment
