Roles
Roles in Crowdin 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 resources.
Below you can find descriptions of each role and the permissions associated with it.
Owner
Owner is a person who created a project and has complete control over it. The owner can invite users to the project and manage their access, manage resources like AI providers, MT engines and more, upload source and translation files to the project, set up integrations, etc.
Manager
Manager has similar rights to the project owner and is responsible for managing their assigned projects. Within these projects, they can manage project members, tasks, resources, and more, but they cannot manage some of the owner’s resources (e.g., configuration of AI providers, MT engines, etc.) and cannot delete projects.
Use case: Suitable for trusted team members who need full access to manage projects without the ability to delete them.
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 join requests, 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.

Proofreader
