Sidebar Menu Permissions

The Lingotek Translation Management System organizes permissions based on three main roles. The role you have determines what menu items you have access to in the sidebar. From highest to lowest, the following is the hierarchy of roles in TMS:

  • Community Administrators (Community Admins)

  • Project Manager (Full PM)

  • Vendor Project Manager (Vendor PM)

  • Linguist

For roles that are lower in the hierarchy, access to menu options is limited. The higher the role, the more access is granted to the user.

Other Permissions

There are more permissions in the TMS that govern access to features within a Project and access a user has to Project Resources. These permissions are exclusive to Vendor PMs and PMs since Linguists cannot access that menu and Community Admins have access to all Project Resources in their community.
