Managing permissions to enable access to Drive content

The article explains how to assign and upgrade user roles in a Smartcat corporate account to enable access to content in Drive.

As project manager or an admin, when you add a user to your Smartcat corporate account and workspace, you can assign them a specific role. Each role grants different levels of access rights. You can explore the various preset roles and their corresponding access levels for account users.

Roles such as Administrator, Project Manager, and Resource Manager allows you to access content stored in Drive. However, roles like Language Lead and Linguist do not have Drive access and can only interact with documents as per their assigned tasks.

If a user encounters a restricted access screen while trying to open a document or folder in Drive, it indicates that their current role does not have the required permissions.

Here is how you can upgrade a user’s permissions to enable them to view and edit content in Drive:

  1. You can change the user's role to Resource Manager as shown below:

2. Alternatively, you can re-invite the user to the workspace, even if they are already a member. This time, specify "Resource Manager" as their role. Once the user accepts the new invitation, they will gain access to Drive.
