#There are different scopes under The Mana World Team's authority.  Some may require involvement of those who are not members of The Mana World Team, but have the required knowledge or experience.  The Mana World Team members are pulled from the following categories of contributors:
## ''Game Masters''. Game Masters are responsible for enforcing the rules of the game, in game.  Secondarily, Game Masters act as a bridge from the players to development team.  All Game Masters are members of The Mana World Committee. To become a Game Master, a person must be voted in by the player community and approved by The Mana World Committee.
## ''Developers'': People working on any area of development on a regular or semi-regular basis who have earned a place on TMWT due to their many contributions.
## ''Server Admins''.  Admins are those that have ssh access to the server and are responsible for server restarts, maintenance, and the general health of the server overall.  Forum Admin and Wiki Admin are subcategories of this group. Our new server host, who wishes to remain anonymous, also has input regarding these matters but is not considered a member of The Mana World Committee.  To become a member of this group, a player or contributor must first show the appropriate knowledge, willingness to devote time, and must be unanimously approved by The Mana World Committee.
## ''Game Masters'': Game Masters are responsible for enforcing the rules of the game, in game.  Additionally, Game Masters act as a bridge from the players to development team.  All Game Masters are members of TMWT. To become a Game Master, a person must be voted in by the player community and approved by TMWT.
## ''Programmers''.  Programmers are responsible for making changes to the codebase.  Not all members of the Programmer group are admitted to The Mana World Committee.  To become a member of this group, a player or contributor must show appropriate knowledge, contribute to the project and learn and gain 'git' access.
## ''Content Creators''.  Content Creators are responsible for adding quests, items and monsters either via scripting, mapping, sound or pixel art.  Content Creation has Council and #themanaworld-event as private domains; and #themanaworld-dev and other forums as public.  Not all members of Content Creators are members of The Mana World Committee.  To become a member of this group, a player or contributor must show appropriate skill, contribute to the project and is encouraged to learn and gain 'git' access.
# A newly created role in The Mana World Commitee will be that of ''Advisor''.  TMWC Advisors are those contributors or GHP members that have stepped away from the game or development, yet offer insight, advice and/or periodic assistance with game decisions and development, while not directly taking decisions.
