Roles

Roles in Crowdin Enterprise define the level of access and control users have within the platform. By assigning roles, you can manage user permissions across the Editor, project settings, and organization settings.

Below you can find descriptions of each role and the permissions associated with it.

Owner

Owner is a person who created an organization and has complete control over it. The owner can invite users to the organization and manage their access, manage vendors, create projects and groups, upload source and translation files to the projects, set up integrations, edit organization settings, etc.

Admin

Admins have similar rights to the owner, with full access to manage the organization, including creating projects, managing users, and configuring settings. However, they do not have the ability to delete the organization or transfer ownership.

Use case: Suitable for trusted team members who need full access to manage the organization without the ability to delete it.

Manager

Managers have a more focused scope of control that depends on their assignment at various levels. Based on the Permission granularity settings, Managers can be assigned at the organization, group, subgroup, or project levels. They inherit access to all child entities within their assigned parent entity (i.e., organization, group, or subgroup). Managers can’t manage vendors, invite or manage users at the organization level, or change organization settings.

Workspace Manager

Workspace Manager can create and manage projects across the entire organization (including inviting people to projects and managing resources). They also have access to all groups and subgroups.

Use case: Suitable for users responsible for maintaining consistency across multiple projects in the organization.

If permission granularity is disabled, Workspace Manager can be assigned using the Workspace manager toggle in the User details. If enabled, the organization’s workspace is treated as a root group, and the role is granted by assigning the user to manage the root group from the Groups tab in the User details.

Group Manager

Group Manager can create and manage projects within a specific group (including inviting people to projects and managing resources). They also inherit manager access to all subgroups within the assigned group.

Use case: Suitable for users responsible for managing a group of projects and ensuring consistency within that group.

Group managers can be assigned only when permission granularity is enabled. In that case, organization owners and admins can assign users to manage specific groups or subgroups from the Groups tab in the User details.

Project Manager

Project Managers are responsible for the management of individual projects. Within those projects, they can manage project members, tasks, and resources, etc., but do not have access to settings or resources outside of their assigned projects.

Use case: Suitable for users who need to focus only on managing specific projects without broader organizational responsibilities.

Language Coordinator

Language Coordinator can manage certain features of a project only within their assigned languages. Language Coordinators can translate and approve strings, manage project members and teams, generate project reports, create tasks, and pre-translate the project content. Unlike managers, they cannot access other project settings (e.g., project files, integrations, etc.).

Use case: Suitable for users responsible for managing translation within specific project languages.

Developer

Developer сan upload files, edit translatable text, connect integrations, and use the API. Cannot manage project tasks, members and reports.

Use case: Best suits for users focused on the technical implementation of projects, such as integration setup, file management, etc.

Contributor

Contributors include both Translators and Proofreaders, who primarily interact with the content within the Editor. They can view projects, tasks, and workflow steps to which they are assigned, access the Editor on corresponding workflow steps, generate personal translation reports, and communicate with other project members.
