To invite a user to a project and provide view-only permissions, you can follow the steps below:

Let's take, for example, a project with the source language as English (Canada) and the target language as French.

  1. Visit the team's page and click the "Invite Collaborators" button in the upper right corner.

  2. Provide the TX username of the user you want to invite to the team (the email address can also be used).

  3. Select the user's role in the team (you need to select Language Coordinator, Reviewer, or Translator - the user's role in a source language group does not matter, meaning you can choose any of the above options).

  4. Next, find the translation team assigned to the specific project in Transifex.

  5. Finally, select the project's source language (en_CA) from the drop-down menu.

Once the user is invited, they will only be able to view strings. To do that, he needs to click on the source language of the project and then "View strings online" as follows:

The list of the strings will be accessible to him, as well as the option to see translations in other languages without being able to modify any translations there, though

If the user tries to click on other languages of the project, the following message will appear, preventing him from entering the editor mode:
