The ORegAnno database has three roles designed to help annotate and verify the data.

• USER ROLE:
A user is allowed to annotate new records and make comments on existing records. Users are responsible for entering the majority of new data in ORegAnno
• VALIDATOR ROLE: A validator is allowed to modify (deprecate) any record creating a new one in its place and to score a record based on cross-referencing the associated citation (as to whether the annotation can be confirmed, or is inaccurate)
  
  
  
• ADMIN ROLE: An administrator assigns roles and can add new evidence classes, types, and subtypes to the database as well as batch upload sets of records contributed from high-throughput experiments. The administrator can also start new datasets within ORegAnno. The administrator when logged on has a special interface that allows these functions.
