Grant the right reviewer access in seconds, with the new User and In-house Reviewer roles
Granting the right level of access to an occasional contributor or an internal reviewer in your enterprise localization workspace almost always costs more admin time than the task itself warrants. Without a pre-scoped role to reach for, you're stuck choosing between over-granting access you'll have to remember to revoke, or manually configuring a custom permission set for what should be a standard, repeatable task.
Every minute spent manually scoping permissions is a minute not spent reacting to what the business needs right now.
Streamline reviewer access and assignment via pre-scoped roles and direct invites
Two roles, User and In-house Reviewer, give you a simplified, pre-scoped way to grant exactly the access a given person needs, with no custom configuration.
Reviewers invited through Chat now move through a cleaner, more direct invite/assign flow straight into the right project and role.
Protect sensitive settings and reduce inviter friction with tailored access control
- Fixed User role. Simplified access for people who need to view or lightly interact with projects. Stop over-granting full editor access just to let someone look at a project.
- Fixed In-house Reviewer role. Scoped specifically to review tasks. Onboard an internal reviewer with zero exposure to unrelated project or account settings.
- Cleaner Chat on Site invite/assign flow. Reviewers land directly in the right project and role from the invite. Cut the back-and-forth that used to follow every reviewer invite.
Standardize contributor onboarding across workspaces with pre-configured scopes
- An admin onboarding an occasional in-house subject-matter reviewer assigns the new In-house Reviewer role in seconds, instead of manually scoping a custom permission set.
- A customer support lead invites a one-off contributor via Chat on Site and the new flow drops them straight into the correct project with the right access, no back-and-forth needed.
- A workspace admin standardizes reviewer onboarding across teams using the two new fixed roles instead of ad hoc custom roles that drift out of consistency over time.
How to assign fixed reviewer roles and invite collaborators via reviewer in-app chat
- Go to workspace roles: the two new fixed roles appear as assignment options.
- Assign to a reviewer, either directly or via the updated reviewer in-app chat invite flow.
- The reviewer gets scoped access matched to their role automatically, with no manual permission tuning needed.
