<h1>The Difference Between Direct and Derived Roles</h1>

<h2>Direct Roles</h2>

A direct role is a role which you have been granted in a project. When
you request a role in a project, you are requesting a direct
role. Your direct role in a project causes you to show up on the list
of members of that project.

<h2>Derived Roles</h2>

<p>A derived role is a role which you have in a project because you
have it (direct or derived) in the parent of that project. For
instance, if you were granted the "Project Owner" role in a project
group <i>foo</i> containing a project <i>bar</i>, you have that role
as a direct role in <i>foo</i> and as a derived role in
<i>bar</i>. Your derived role in a project does not cause you to show
up on the list of members of that project.

<p>Example: as a registered user, you can view all the public projects
on a Tigris installation because your direct "Registered User" role in
the domain becomes a derived "Registered User" role in each public
project in the domain.

<h2>Viewing Direct and Derived Roles</h2>

<p>The <a href="http://www.tigris.org/servlets/ACLDump">ACLDump</a>
servlet lets you see your direct and derived roles. By default it
shows you only your direct roles. Click the "Show Derived Roles"
button to show your derived roles.
