+# Ikiwiki user roles
+
+Working with this website isseparated into some distinct roles.
+
+Besides the technician setting up the system, there is the content **author**,
+the web graphics and interface **designer** and the normal **reader** of the site.
+
+The author can write content before the shaping and visual enhancing is ready. And
+the site can be live readable while evolving both content and style.
