- Players are usually new personae and are not able to build, create, or own objects on Grass Roots at this stage. In order to become a Builder, personae must have filled out their info and description.. and must have a plan or project on GrassRoots they wish to be involved in.
- Builders have a project(s) on Grass Roots. They can build rooms and things. They help to expand this world. All builders have a "home" on GrassRoots where they enter whenever they log in. Some builders choose to build more than an office space; they start building projects which contain more than one or two rooms. They can only build projects that have educational value.
- Programmers build, and they also can use the MOO language to improve the things builders create, or they make brand new things. In order to become promoted to Programmer, one must be a builder and have completed the requirements listed on the Policy Board in TapRoot.
- Teachers are real-life teachers or on-line mentors who manage a group of K-12 students in Grass Roots. The teachers of students are noted in their info files.
- Gardeners are the administrators of Grass Roots (called wizards on other MOOs). They create players, builders, and programmers. They connect rooms to public areas. They approve building projects and raise quota. They make decisions about all kinds of things.
Some Builders become Programmers.
Very few become Gardeners.
