+Users, Roles and Privileges
+===========================
+
+Users, roles and privileges are key to manage and restrict access into Nexus
+repositories. Anonymous users have read permissions, while administration teams and CI accounts
+have write and delete permissions.
+
+Sonatype's documentation on creating users, roles and privileges found in:
+https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager2/configuration/managing-users/, and
+https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager2/configuration/managing-roles/.
+
+For LF projects, a user per Gerrit repository exists matching the repository name.

+
+Similarly, roles and privileges match the name of the Gerrit repository. The following
+privileges exist:
+
+* Repo All Repositories (Read)
+* <project-name> (create)
+* <project-name> (delete)
+* <project-name> (read)
+* <project-name> (update)
+
+.. note::
+
+ Where "<project-name>" matches the Gerrit name of the repository.
