Every organization and team is composed of members with different user roles. There are six user roles in Transifex, each with a different set of responsibilities and user permissions. Here's a look at them.

Organization Administrator

Admins have full access to all features and control over every setting within an organization. Admins can do what the other roles can, plus the following:

Create/delete projects
Add/remove project maintainers.
Invite people of all roles
Create and delete teams
Assign projects to different teams
Access reports
Order translations
Manage/change an organization's subscription
Create/delete glossaries
Create/delete style guides
Change organization-level settings such as Translation Memory and Glossary sharing.
Transfer projects to another organization
Archive projects
Delete an organization
Add/remove tags

Project Maintainers

Maintainers are responsible for managing individual projects in Transifex. Maintainers can:

Add/remove project languages.
Approve/deny language requests
Add/delete resources.
Assign new project maintainers
Access reports
Post project announcements
Change project-level settings
Review and Proofread translations in all project languages
Submit translations in all project languages
Delete TM entries
Add/remove tags
Mark open issues as resolved (Note: The creator of an issue can also resolve the issue.)

The Project Maintainer role is tied to a specific project – not a team. However, Project Maintainers don't need to be added to the team translating the project they're managing since they already have translation permissions.

We recommend making developers on your team either Maintainers or Admins.

Team Managers

Team Managers are responsible for who's on a team and each team member's role. Managers can:

Invite people to a team
Approve/deny team join requests
Change the user roles of team members.
Start a team discussion.
Review and Proofread translations
Submit translations
Access Translation Activity Reports

The Team Manager role is valuable when working with translation agencies. Assign someone from the agency to be a Team Manager, and they can then invite their translators to work on your projects and assign them different roles.

Language Coordinators

Coordinators are responsible for overseeing a particular language within a team. Coordinators can do the same things as a team manager, but on a language level:

Invite people to a language in a team
Approve/deny join requests for a language in a team
Change the user roles of members in a language of a team.
Start a team discussion in a particular language.
Review and Proofread translations in a specific language
Submit translations in a specific language

If you're crowdsourcing translations, you can delegate some of the responsibility of managing a specific language to a trusted community member by promoting them from a translator or reviewer to a language coordinator.

Reviewers

Reviewers play an essential role in ensuring translation quality. They check translations to ensure they're error-free and meet your quality standards. Once a translation is reviewed, it cannot be edited by a Translator. Reviewers can:

Review and Proofread translations in a specific language
Submit translations in a specific language
Post in team discussions

Translator

Translators work to adapt your content from one language to another. They can:

Submit translations in a specific language
Post in team discussions

Note

While there are six user roles in Transifex, only Team Managers, Coordinators, Reviewers, and Translators are part of the teams. Admins and Maintainers work on an organization and project level, respectively.
