How Roles work Whenever a new user submits a registration form, its role is set to "submission". Roles under this value are kept for only 30 days. then a nightly process removes them in order to avoid scamming attempts. When the user confirms his registration email, the role moves from "submission" to "applicant". When the Secretary review and approves a new applicant, it's moved from "applicant" to "member". If the new member is also a committee member, Secretary must assign from the Edit User page.
