Hey there Abyot,

Thanks for the response :)!

I haven't tested this with the web client yet, but using the Android DHIS2
data Capture program, adding those two additional roles have allowed it to
upload data :)!

It might be good to have something in the user roles section that asks the
administrator: What would you like to do? and one of the response could be
'Enter Data from Third Party Program' among all the other possibilities.
That way the admin could answer these questions for a new role with a click
and it would auto populate the *minimum needed* authorities (as I think we
are up to *205 *different authorities now).
