Please be aware that we're introducing a new permission management system. Learn more about the upcoming changes in the corresponding article.
A group is a collection of users with a common set of permissions. Groups can be added to one or more projects thus adding all users as collaborators with the defined access rights.
Getting started
To manage user groups you have to be a team owner, biller, or administrator. To get started, click on the avatar in the bottom left corner and proceed to Team settings:
Next, select the User groups tab from the left menu.
Create a new group
To create a new user group, click the Create user group button under the User groups tab. You'll see the following dialog box:
Enter a name and click the Create group button. Initially, your group will not contain any members.
Renaming your group
To rename a group, simply click on its name and enter a new one:
Group avatar
To change a group's avatar, click on the current image:
You have the following options:
Upload image — choose an image from your PC.
Set language flag — choose a country flag.
Select from gallery — choose a predefined image from the Lokalise gallery.
Managing group members
To manage group members, proceed to the Members tab. Click the Add member button.
You'll see the following dialog box:
Here you can either choose an existing team user or invite a new user who is not yet a member of your team. Please remember that any newly added user occupies a team seat.
After you are ready, click Add. All group members will be listed under the Members tab:
You can remove a member from the group by clicking Remove from group button.
Permissions
To manage group permissions:
Go to the Permissions tab.
Select the role that group members will have. These permissions will apply when the group is added to a project.
These roles and permissions are the same as those found on the Contributor page. For detailed information about roles, refer to the Contributors article.
At the bottom of the page, you can configure the group's language access.
Tip: Don’t forget to click Save permissions to apply the changes.
How the permission system works
If a user is added to a project through multiple groups, they will receive all the permissions from each group combined.
If a user is added to a project individually, only the permissions assigned to them as an individual contributor will apply. Permissions from groups will not affect them.
To apply group permissions and languages to users who were added individually, you’ll need to remove the users from the project contributor table.
Projects
To add group to one or more projects, proceed to the Projects tab:
Click the Add to projects button. You'll see the following dialog box:
Choose one or more projects and then click Add. Your team and all its members will be added to the chosen projects.
Group within a project
Once you open a project and proceed to the Contributors page, you'll see all project contributors along with the added groups:
You can remove the group from the project by clicking the Remove button from the Actions dropdown.
