Set user roles and access rights

When adding a user to your Smartcat corporate account, you can choose a preset role for them. Each role comes with a certain level of access rights.

1. Linguist

2. Resource manager

3. Project manager

4. Administrator

5. Language Lead

1. Administrators

Administrators, or admins, have all available rights. Only an admin can create new user groups or manage paid services and vendors.

2. Linguists

Linguists can only view and work with projects and documents according to tasks assigned to them. A linguist cannot edit project resources. If a glossary is connected to the project, all terms added by the Linguist have to be confirmed.

2. Teammates

Teammates can add new projects and work with all of the projects within the account, regardless of who a project was created by.

You can also create your own access level and choose custom rights for each user on your Smartcat corporate account.

Follow these instructions to specify an access level for a current or new user. By specifying access levels for specific users, you can define custom roles with specific permissions.

Go to your Workspace Settings and choose User Access Levels from the drop-down menu.

Click the Add access level button. In the window that opens, enter the access level name and click Create.

To define access rights, select an access level in the list, then click Edit.

To click Add Access Right to define which rights this access level will have.

Select a right from the list and click Next.

In the next window, define the scope of this right. For example, if you want to allow this user group to manage glossary content, you can define specific glossaries, glossaries of a particular client or choose certain languages in glossaries.

When done, press Add. The access rights you added will appear in the list.

To remove a right from the access level, click the cross next to the right in the list. To confirm the changes, hit Save.

To delete an access level, select it in the list. Click the Delete button and confirm.
