Organizations and their components

Organizations are networks of users that share their work and resources.

Organizations consist of:

  • Users
  • Roles
  • Permissions
  • Projects

Users

Users work or collaborate with other users on the tasks assigned to them. Typical tasks may include: translations, reviews, translation memory updates and so on.

Roles and permissions

Within the organization they are part of, users fulfill the role assigned to them. Each organization holds a table of users and their roles in that organization. Roles are groups of permissions allowing users to access resources and work on projects or tasks. Depending on the roles users are assigned, they may have more or fewer permissions in an organization. Roles and permissions can be created or adjusted depending on your organization's needs.

Resources

Users have access to the organization's resources depending on the permission associated to their role. Resources include:
  • Translation memories (TMs)
  • Termbases
  • Language resource templates
  • Field templates
  • Project templates

Projects

Projects refer to the total sum of documents that need to be translated and reviewed. Projects may also include the resources needed to complete the work. Once a project is created, the work is divided into one or more tasks, and assigned to users. You can track the project progress on its Kanban board.
