Roles per Locale
Roles per locale gives you more control over user roles in multi-language repositories.
Configure the roles per locale
Only Administrators can edit user roles. Let’s go over the steps for inviting users and editing their roles.
Invite users
In your repository, go to Settings > Users. Send an invitation to a new user. You can grant or limit access to certain locales from the moment you send the invitation.
Edit user roles
Go to your repository’s Settings > Users. Select the languages for each user using the + Add a locale button.
By default, everyone in the repository can see all documents in all existing locales, but they will only edit for the locales you give them access to.
User roles
The Roles per locale facilitates a collaborative translation workflow. Once you grant a specific role to a user, you can assign their role per locale. There are two main user roles: Contributors and Admins.
Contributor
Once you grant the contributor role to a user, you can assign their role for each locale. Their role can be either Writer or Publisher.
Writers can:
- Create draft documents.
- Edit documents without publishing changes.
- View documents from other locales and copy them to permitted locales.
Publishers can do everything a Writer can do, plus:
- Review and publish drafts and edits.
- Schedule releases if they have publisher rights for every locale in the release.
Administrator
Administrators can do everything a Contributor can do, plus:
- Access all locales.
- Modify user roles and permissions.
