To manage metadata for a Participant organization, a user must have one of these following roles:
Site Administrator
can sign into FM to view, add, update, and remove his/her organization's metadata
can request entity metadata to be published to the InCommon metadata
can designate additional delegated administrators
reviews metadata updates made by a Delegated Administrator and approves them for submission
Delegated Administrator
can sign into FM to update a subset of his/her organization's entity metadata as determined by the Site Administrator
