Welcome! Currently Dirt!/SRSF Civicspace is setup with seven roles that people can take. The different roles allow for different access points and participation levels on the site. We hope you will enjoy your visit and that you will find a role that fits right for you.

1) Anonymous Cruiser: anyone who can get to the website. An anonymous user will be able to surf the events, the blogs and the forum but will NOT be able to submit any content (events, comments, blog entries, forum threats...)

2) Honored Registered Users (HRUs, Previously called "registered users"): people who have registered and therefore can login with their account from any drupal site. This means they have taken the time to get a login name (FREE) and password (ALSO FREE).

In addition to be able to browse the content, HRUs can submit events and browse through the past event archives. HRUs will also have access to the forums and be able to leave comments. All content will need to be approved by the SRSF Editors. HRUs are invited to also receive The Dirt! as a weekly email version in their inbox.

3) Supporters: people who have donated something (in-kind, money or otherwise) to support Spreading Roots, Spring Forth.

In addition to all the perks that come with being an HRU, these valued supporters of our efforts can browse all of the events that are posted into the future, have their own blog (the content will need to be appropriate to the general mission of SRSF) and be able to leave comments and post to the forum without going through the moderation queue.

4) SRSF Editors: Language conscious, detail-oriented, skilled SRSF volunteers who are willing and able to look over content posted to the website and edit information as necessary.

Editors will have access ability to edit content on the website on either all or specific sections, depending on their own acknowledged, time, availability, and interest.

5) SRSF Board: The SRSF Board of Directors

The SRSF Board will have the ability to edit any content and be able to post content that is only visible by the other SRSF Board and the SRSF Web Admins.

6) SRSF Web Admins: Likely just Ryan and Jeremy, for now.

For all of the behind the scenes geeky stuff.
If you have questions or concerns about anything technically-web related, you can reach us by email: webadmin (at) thedirt.org. For other queries please send questions to info (at) thedirt.org

7) Organizers:Individuals who work with an organization, government agency, small business or community group and organize various events in which the public is invited to participate.

Similar to HRUs, these members of the Dirt!/SRSF Civicspace will have abilities to edit their events as well as (in the future) events posted by other organizers who belong to their organization. As always, the content will need to be appropriate to the general mission of SRSF. Organizers will also be able to leave comments, post to the forum without going through the moderation queue. (Additionally, in the future, Organizers will have opportunities to provide a link to their website or, if they don't have one, they may simply create a "business card" that states the mission of their organization, address and other contact information as relevant.) All registered organizers are automatically eligible and invited to be added to our monthly email reminder list where we send messages that keep organizations apprised of possible collaboration opportunities, how to post events and SRSF's own developments and directions.
