+Use this section as guidance for using existing and developing new features.

+1. All admin-only features should be within admin area. Outside of the admin area an admin should behave as regular user with highest access role.
+2. Guest role for private projects should be equal to no role for public or internal project.

+3. Developer role should receive as much permissions as possible except those that are either destructive (ex. remove project) or restricted on purpose by higher role.
+4. Master or owner roles should not be necessary for a daily workflow. The purpose of those roles is to do initial setup and maintainance.
