Do those who are not monks have any role in Buddhism?
Yes, those who are not ordained monks or nuns have always had an important role in the community of Buddhists. As Buddhism spread from what is today India to other eastern countries and, in the 20th century, to the west, it adapted itself to different cultures.

I am afraid that this question makes no sense. There is no upgrading of men or women in Buddhism. Men and women are to be treated as equals.

Who were the priests for Buddhism?
We do not have priests in Buddhism. We worship no gods or persons. It is a religion and a way of life devoid of authority, ritual, speculation, tradition, and the supernatural. There is no dogma that a person needs to believe in to be a Buddhist. In Buddhism we have only Monks/Nuns and lay people. Monks and Nuns have dedicated their lives to learning and practicing the Buddha's teachings in a monastic setting. Monks and Nuns who have been given transmission (that is they have received and understood the Buddhas teachings and can apply them correctly to any situation) can teach others about what the Buddha taught. That's about as much of a hierarchy there is in Buddhism. It is more a collection of like-minded individuals who study and practice cooperatively the Buddhas teachings.
