What do you call your non-admin role?

Question

I've come up with these.

• Basic User
• Regular User
• Default User

Other ideas? Which is best?

Answer 1

In trivial problems I stick with simply "User" and "Administrator".

However most systems have specialisations of User: Customer, Supplier, Clerk, ... These are more informative and make more sense when describing scenarios: "Customer submits Order", "Supplier ships Order". So I only go with "User" in the absence of more meaningful problem-domain terms.
