Assign roles

You can change a user's role within your organization at any time. Roles control what a user can see and do.

Prerequisites

You are an organization manager.

Steps

1. Go to your Profile page and click Manage Organization.
2. On the People tab, click the row of the user whose role you want to change. This opens their detail drawer.
3. Click Edit.
4. Select the new role from the Role dropdown.
5. Save the change.

There's no way to change a role directly from the row itself — you have to open the user's detail drawer first.

Available roles

The Role dropdown itself offers: Organization Manager, Team Manager, Team Member, Limited Team Member, and External Linguist. "Billing Manager" doesn't appear as an option in this dropdown. It is chosen when you invite someone, not changed from this drawer.

Role	What they can do
Team Member	Work on projects assigned to them; use shared glossaries, TMs, and style guides
Limited Team Member	Can only work on tasks explicitly assigned to them; cannot create projects
Team Manager	Create and assign tasks; view all projects in their team
Organization Manager	Full access to all teams, users, billing, and shared resources in the organization
External Linguist	Vendor role — receives assignments only, cannot create projects

For a detailed permissions matrix, see User roles reference.

Notes

• Role changes take effect immediately.
• You cannot change your own role (to prevent accidental self-lockout). Another org manager must change it.
