👮‍♀️ Roles & permissions

Frontitude offers a flexible permission mechanism, so you can set the right permission level for each one of the users in your organization.

‍

There are a few roles you can assign to collaborators in your workspace:

‍

Editor

The Editor role gives collaborators editing permissions across Frontitude’s web app and Figma plugin. This includes access to projects, the copy library, and the ability to manage project structure.

‍

Editors can:

Submit changes via the Frontitude web app or Figma plugin
Edit pages and screens in projects
Create and manage copy components in the copy library
Edit copy library categories
Modify workspace settings
Invite collaborators

‍

Assign the Editor role to anyone you want to edit content or project structure, and to sync content in Frontitude with other integrations (such as design tools).

‍

Who usually needs an Editor seat?

‍

💡 A Bundle seat is available, combining both Editor and Writing Assistant seat permissions.

‍

Platform scopes

Frontitude allows you to assign roles within a specific scope: workspace or project.

‍

If a user is part of the team, you'd probably want to invite them at the workspace level. If it's an external member, like a translators or a client, you might want to invite them at the project level.

‍

Workspace level

Workspace-level editors can access all projects in a workspace. They can also access the workspace collaborators, tags, variables, and other information.

‍

Project level

Project-level collaborators can access only the project they were invited to. They have no access to the workspace information of the inviter (if they navigate to workspace settings or library, they will view their own workspace details).

‍
