If you need to expand beyond the Default Roles to better fit your organization, you can easily define your own custom roles within LILT. By default, adding and editing custom roles is only available to the administrator role. To get started, navigate to the Manage > Users. Image Select the Roles tab, which will display all the default roles and custom roles of the organization. To add a new role, clicking the New role button in the upper-left. This opens a pop-up where you can set the name for the custom role, add a description, and toggle on each permission you want the role to have. Image If a user has been assigned the “Linguist” role type, they will not have the ability to create verified or instant translation jobs. The permissions available to be toggled shown below for reference. To compare against what permissions the default roles have, see the Default Roles article. User visibility is a security feature that can anonymize translator information of TM entries displayed in LILT Translate. This helps keep sensitive information away from roles that don’t need it to perform their duties.
  • If a role has the User visibility option turned on, users with that role can see user data from within the org (e.g. a Translator role added to their org), but no LILT expert user data. This includes translator information for TM entries, and assignment for any non-LILT expert.
  • If a role has the User visibility option turned off, users with that role cannot see any user information in TM entries or for assignment. The translator information will instead be filled with asterisks. The default roles “Translator” and “Reviewer” have this setting.
  • If a user is within the org AND in the LILT expert pool, their information will still be redacted.
Only the default Admin role has access to LILT expert user information. Assign Reviewer is a permission that will allow the role to assign Secondary Reviewers (customers) during job submission. Image
