Team visibility allows newly registered users to join your team on Lokalise automatically, removing the need to manually add contributors. They can join the team on their own.

Differences from public signup

It’s important to note that team visibility is different from public signup:

  • Public signup allows any user to join a translation project via an invitation link.

  • Team visibility restricts joining to users whose email addresses match the appropriate domain. Lokalise verifies the email domain, allowing users to join a team only if their email domain matches the team's domain. For example, john@example.com can join a team with the example.com domain but not a team with the example2.com domain.


Enabling team visibility

To enable the team visibility feature, follow these steps:

  • Click on your team avatar in the bottom-left corner and select Team settings.

  • Navigate to the Advanced security tab and locate the Team visibility section.

To begin, you must verify both your email and domain. Click Verify your email and domain, then choose to send a verification link.

Check your inbox for a verification email from Lokalise.

Click Confirm your account in the email, then return to the Advanced security tab to complete the process.


Team visibility settings

Once your email and domain are verified, you can adjust your team visibility settings:

  • Invite only (default) — newly registered users cannot join your team on their own. You must invite every user manually.

  • Open to anyone with [domain] — any newly registered users whose email domain matches your team’s domain can join automatically, without requiring any additional approval.

  • Request only — newly registered users with the correct email domain can find your team and request to join. You will need to manually approve each user who wishes to join.

If your team's domain changes, you can click Change domain, enter a new email address, and request a new verification link.


Joining teams upon registration

After setting your team visibility to Open to anyone or Request only, newly registered users with matching email domains will be able to join or request to join your team.

If Request only is enabled, users will need to wait for admin approval before joining.

Approving join requests

When a user requests to join a team, admins will receive an email notification and can either approve or reject the request.

To manage join requests:

  • Go to Team settings > Team.

  • Find the Awaiting requests section.

Here, you can simply click Accept or Reject for each request.
