Permissions provide the ability of precise control within the team access. With permissions, you can set up to which part of the project the team members have no access, which they can view or edit.
The permissions are separated into six main categories - "Organization," "Marketplace," "Members," "Translation tools," "Developer tools," and "Projects." Inside each, there are subpoints you can also manage.
Let's take a look at the permissions in detail.
Note: Permissions are part of the roles we described in this article.
Note: You can provide the permissions in the process of new adding new team members. Read here.
Each category can be fully closed for the user by choosing "No permission" against the category name. Also, you can provide full access to members by using "Full permission."
If you want to manage the subcategories, choose "Restricted permission." Then you will be able to select one of the three options - "No access," "View," or "Manage." The first one restricts any activities for users with selected data. Let's overview the remaining two. For some categories, both options exist - "View" and "Manage"; for some, only one.
The primary set allows control of main organization data and settings - billing information, subscription management, and audit logs.

In the "Languages" row, you can select "Manage." As a result, the user will have access to all the languages in all accessible projects.
Click on "Add language specific permissions" and choose from the list the languages you want to give access to.
To give you more flexibility, Lingohubs provide custom project permissions so that you can create different accesses for different projects. To add the permission rules to the next project - click on "Add project permission" at the bottom of the page and choose the appropriate one.
