Description

There are two different user types that can be selected from Profile settings. One is Power User and one is Developer. You can select them both at the same time. When you create an account neither one of these is selected, however once you select one you always have to have one selected. I'm going to create a ticket about that as I think you should be able to deselect them both.

They are defined here ontology

Note: when I say I'm not sure how to see this or not shown, what I really mean is the icon does not appear when you click the plus so I do not know how to create a new one. But of course if you have created one, that is what will show when you open the file/container.
