With the foundational settings in place (read the previous articles), it's time to discover how user roles can empower your team. Let's dive into exactly what options are available to make collaboration effortless!

There are 3 basic rules when adding team members:

  • Only the Admin and Project Manager users can invite team members.
  • Each team member can have up to 3 user roles.
  • Removing or changing user roles isn't an option yet.

The Admin user can choose from these preset roles when inviting a user to the company account:

  • Admin
  • Project Manager
  • Linguistic Coordinator
  • Linguist
  • ModelWiz user

When The Project Manager user can choose from the preset roles:

  • Project Manager
  • Linguistic Coordinator
  • Linguist
  • ModelWiz user

The Management account has preset user roles and each user role has certain rights explained below.

The Admin user can control all the account settings, manage users, and manage the editable information of contributors (vendors and clients). Additionally, you can access all the features created for Project Manager users. This mean that the Admin can access all the projects created the company account.

After from the Admin, the Project Manager user has the most rights to edit the company account information.

Certain actions are only for managing vendors, and Linguistic Coordinator users can perform these. These users can remove Freelance/Agency companies as contributors, and moderate the communication tools in projects. However, they cannot access detailed information about clients such as their email or name.

A Linguist (or internal linguist) can only view and contribute to projects when they have been added directly to projects. A Linguist user cannot edit project details, and the information submitted in Queries must be moderated before it is made public. They cannot access the Contributors page.

With the ModelWiz User role, you grant access to ModelWiz, our proprietary machine learning infrastructure, to linguists or any other team member.

Users with multiple user roles

In some cases, you may want to have multiple user roles. Here is a possible scenario:

You are the project manager for one project, but you have another project where you coordinate the linguistic team, and because of that, you will be assigned as the linguist coordinator.

Now, for one of these projects, you decided to to evaluate a file's translation before kicking off projects in the CAT tool using the ModelWiz tool.

Given the above scenario, your user roles will be:

- Project Manager

- Linguistic Coordinator

- MT User

💭 Keep in mind that the user will access the features aimed at the higher hierarchical role, in this case, the features for the Project Manager role.

Now that you know all about the user roles you are ready to explore how to invite team members, skip ahead to the Add Users article available in the side menu. - let's dive right in!
