DataStage V8.0 users and roles

DS v8.0 under IS has 5 different user roles now.
1. DS-QS Developer. (These are users who have UNIX ids. Right)
2. DS-QS Production Manager. (dsadm)
3. DS-QS Operator. (What is this role id? ds____?)
4. DS-QS Super-Operator. (What is this new role id? ds___??)
5. DS Administrator. (What is this new role?) (What is this new role id? ds__??)
Thanks!

The first three roles correspond exactly with their pre-8.0 counterparts. Roles are associated with operating system groups pre-8.0, not with user IDs. UNIX user ID's are completely irrelevant apart from logging in to the server; it's all managed through IIS user IDs in version 8.0.

Super operator can execute released jobs. This is a new DataStage role in version 8.0.

DS Administrator is exactly what it sounds like - it is a deployment domain role for a user who can act as a DataStage administrator (like the dsadm user pre-8.0). There is also a DS user role under IIS; this is a deployment domain user to whom one or more of the DataStage roles can be assigned.
