Difference between project-role "Guest" and "Task Runner"

[noraab]

Just tried Semaphore the first time and was stumbling about what the difference between the two roles "Guest" and "Task Runner" is.
Is there any doc about the differences?

A Task Runner can run tasks (ansible playbooks)
A Guest cannot do that.
This is the distinguishing permission

This is what I thought as well. But during my tests today, a guest could also run tasks. Maybe this is a bug. I can provide screenshots tomorrow.

That is interesting, certainly that is not the intended behavior (from the code at least).

if you can send screenshots that would be helpful

Ok, this seems to be a UI-Bug. I can see the "Run"-Button, even If having the role "Guest", but when clicking on it, the API responds with a 403-Error which is as expected.

I see. I think the best course of action is to create an issue for this.
