Roles determine what a person can do in a repository. They are assigned under the Team tab, and they are the same for public and private repositories — visibility only affects who can see the repository at all.

​
Permissions

​
Owner

Assigned automatically to the person who connected the repository.

​
Admin

Full control short of ownership: manage the team, create and close review requests, edit translations awaiting review, and open pull requests.

​
Language Moderator

Reviews translations for one language. Can edit translations awaiting review and open pull requests, but only for the language they moderate. Moderators are assigned per language. Someone moderating three languages is added three times, once for each.

​
Translator

Adds and updates translations, and creates review requests. Cannot open pull requests — their work reaches GitHub through a moderator.

​
Vendor roles

Translator (Vendor) and Admin (Vendor) are functionally identical to the regular Translator and Admin roles. They exist to distinguish people supplied by a third-party language service provider from your own team.
GitLocalize is operated by Alconost, a multi-language vendor. To have translation done professionally rather than in-house or by a community, get in touch.

​
Adding members

Type a person’s GitHub handle, select a role, and click Add.
Adding a user to the team
A handle that doesn’t autocomplete belongs to someone without a GitLocalize account. They need to sign in to GitLocalize once with their GitHub account before they can be added.
For a private repository this step is mandatory — people who aren’t on the team cannot see the repository at all. See Visibility.

​
Notifications

Notifications follow roles; there is nothing to configure.
