Roles and Access
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.
Role | Menu Access | Aliases |
|---|---|---|
My Tasks, Tools, Leaderboard | Sees the alias of other linguists, but the real name of Vendor PMs, Full PMs, and Community Admins. | |
Projects, Project Resources | Sees the alias of linguists who share their default organization. | |
Project Exceptions | Sees the alias of linguists who share their default organization. | |
Entire Community | Sees the alias of linguists who share their default organization. |
Community Members Access
If a Community Admin allows project managers to manage community members in the Advanced tab in the Customization section of the Community menu, Vendor PMs and Project Managers will be able to see the Community Members section of the Community menu.
