===Able To Set===
 
Controls the roles that a user can add or remove when configuring other users. When you view someone's profile in a business card section you will be to see only roles you are '''Able To Set'''. For example if you are looking at user who has roles ''Applicant'' and ''Researcher'' but you can set only ''Researcher'' you will see only ''Role: Researcher'' on their business card. Typically, System Administrators are given rights to set all roles.
