# User Roles

The Data Admin application has four user roles with different permission sets.

- Search Optimizer. A user of the Data Admin system with access to the Search Optimizer and Search sections. Users with this role have access to non-administrative functionality for Search Optimizer (that is, they can use Search Optimizer, but cannot configure it).

- Answer Bank. A user of the Data Admin system with access to the Answer Bank and Search sections. Users with this role have access to non-administrative functionality for Answer Bank (that is, they can use Answer Bank, but cannot configure it).

- Data Admin. A user of the Data Admin system with access to the Search Optimizer, Search, and Answer Bank sections. Users with this role have access to the same functionality as the Search Optimizer and Answer Bank roles.

- Administrator. An administrative user of the Data Admin system. Administrative users have access to the User Management and Settings pages to manage users and application configuration settings. These users also have the privileges of the Data Admin role.

Data Admin automatically creates the appropriate roles in the Community component for these user roles.

NOTE: The roles in the Community component have different names to the role names that the application displays.

For backwards compatibility with earlier versions of Data Admin (IDOL Search Optimizer), the Search Optimizer and Administrator are called `ISOUser` and `ISOAdmin`, respectively, in the Community component.

The Answer Bank and Data Admin roles are called `AnswerBankUser` and `IDAUser` respectively.
