There are a total of four types of accounts in the portal.

  • Applicants who apply to projects
  • Mentors who mentor a project under an organization
  • Org Admin who manages an organization
  • Super Admin who manages all the organizations and the Org Admins of the organizations

Roles and access available to different types of accounts

Admins

Super Admin

Super Admins are the top-level admins in the portal. They are added by the maintainers directly into the database. They can add Organizations to the portal and also have the responsibility of adding Orgadmins to the Organizations. The Superadmin also has all the access that the other admins in the list have i.e, they can do whatever the other admins can, plus the additional access/responsibility mentioned above.

Org Admin

Org Admins added by the Super Admins into an Organization can add Projects and Mentors to the Organization and can assign Mentors to the Projects. The Org admin also has all the access that mentors have plus the additional access/responsibility mentioned above.

Mentor

Mentors are admins that are either added by an Org Admin or a Super Admin into an Organization. Mentors manage one or more Projects and can accept/reject or evaluate the applicants who apply to the Projects that they mentor. They can accept/reject an application before the project start date and can evaluate(Pass/Fail) an applicant after the project end date.

Non-Admins

Applicants

Applicants are the end-users of the portal who can look at the projects and apply to them. The applicants can sign up directly from the portal. The applications submitted by the applicants are evaluated if accepted. They are expected to give a URL of their proposal as the application proposal.

  • All the account types can log in/log out but only the applicants can sign up
