Managing Roles of Project Members

With the help of roles, you can provide project members with the access they need to accomplish the job they’re responsible for. Both the owner and managers can invite project members and change their roles.

Q&A

Q: I’m a project owner. Do I need to invite a manager or a proofreader?

A: The main difference between a manager and a proofreader is the following: in addition to approving translations added by translators, managers can also invite and remove project members, upload source and translation files to the project, set up integrations, etc.

If you want to have a project member who should have access to the features mentioned above, you need to invite a project manager. Alternatively, if you plan to manage the project yourself, it will be enough to invite a proofreader.
