+Custom Project Roles
+====================
+
+You can create custom project roles to apply a set of specific restrictions on the people that belong to this role.
+These custom roles are defined for each project.
+
+A custom role inherits from the project member role. 
+For example, you may want to create a custom role to force someone to follow a process.
+You can have a group of people that are allowed to move tasks only from the column "Work in progress" to the column "Done".
+
+Available restrictions
