System Administrator
The System Administrator role is a special user role that has elevated privileges across the entire Calminer system. This role is responsible for managing system settings, configurations, managing Mandators, user accounts, and overall system maintenance.
Mandator Administrator
The Mandator Administrator role is a special user role assigned to individuals who manage a specific Mandator. This role has the authority to oversee Users and Projects within their Mandator, including user assignments and project configurations.
Project Manager
The Project Manager role is responsible for overseeing specific Projects within a Mandator. This role has permissions to manage project settings, assign Users to the Project, and monitor project progress.
Standard User
The Standard User role can participate in Projects assigned to them but has limited access to administrative functions.
Permissions
Permissions are defined based on user roles, determining what actions a user can perform within the system. Permissions include:
- View Projects
- Edit Projects
- Manage Users
- Configure System Settings
- Access Reports
- Run Simulations
- Manage Financial Models
- Export Data
- Import Data
- View Logs
- Manage Notifications
- Access API
Permissions are assigned to roles, and users inherit permissions based on their assigned roles. For this purpose, a helper entity RolePermission is defined to map roles to their respective permissions.
The Permissions entity (and RolePermission entity) is defined as follows:

Discounted Cash Flow Metrics
CalMiner standardises the computation of NPV, IRR, and Payback Period through the shared helpers in services/financial.py. The detailed algorithms, assumptions (compounding frequency, period anchoring, residual handling), and regression coverage are documented in Financial Metrics Specification. Scenario evaluation services and downstream analytics should rely on these helpers to ensure consistency across API, UI, and reporting features.
Monte Carlo Simulation
Stochastic profitability analysis builds on the deterministic helpers by sampling cash-flow distributions defined per scenario. The configuration contracts, supported distributions, and result schema are described in Monte Carlo Simulation Specification. Scenario evaluation flows should call services/simulation.py to generate iteration summaries and percentile data for reporting and visualisation features.
Risk Model
The Risk Model identifies and evaluates potential risks associated with mining projects. It includes risk factors, their probabilities, and potential impacts on project outcomes.
