Business functionality

Permitted user roles

Opplet handles user management for the App (including "create account" and "change other users' rights" functions). Thus, the permitted user roles of the App's users are those Opplet roles that are specifically based on rights of groups granted by MediaWiki. The software-defined rights can be found at MediaWiki's list of groups.
