All users that access Peer Management Center through the web client must have an assigned web role.  A web role is a set of permissions that specifies the appropriate level of access to Peer Management Center functionality.  For example, some users will need the ability to create and edit jobs, while other users may need only to view job summaries.

Web client users can have a predefined (base) web role or a custom web role.

In contrast, a user who accesses Peer Management Center through the rich client does not have a web role.  All Peer Management Center functionality is accessible to a rich client user.
