Title: Roles

These are the different roles in the system. Users of the system can be assigned one or
more roles. The roles are also used in the different [use cases](/docs/use-cases/).

## Release Manager

The release manager manages the software configuration, linking artifacts to features and
features to distributions.

## Target Manager

The target manager manages the total population of targets and assigns them to target
operators.

## Target Operator

The target operator manages a (limited) set of targets designated to him by the target
manager. He is responsible for accepting changes to the software configuration for those
targets.

## Remote Target Operator

Like the target operator, the remote target operator manages a limited set of targets.

## License Manager

The license manager manages the relationship between the targets and the distributions.

## Administrator

The administrator manages the users, system settings, rights and security certificates for
the whole ecosystem.

## Target

A target runs the management agent that is responsible for updating the target.

## Server

The server manages all the metadata that expresses what artifacts should be installed on
what targets over time. It also contains an OBR for managing the actual artifacts.

## Relay server

The relay server acts as a cache for the server. It synchronizes with the server and might
only contain a subset of the metadata to service a subset of the targets.

## Software Developer

The software developer provides artifacts that will be added to the OBR.
