Notes:
- The roles shorhands are ad: admin, we: webmaster, ed: editor, sys: system (not a user role).
- The state Deleting is currently not persisted (yet) to the repository so you will never observe a project in this state.
When a review is requested the system will start a review process in the BPM engine. The id of this process is stored in the repository as the externalId on the project.
