Who can edit or delete a project on registration page?

Question

I was kind of startled to notice that on the projects registration page, I can edit or delete even projects which colleagues have simply shared with me as an observer/consultant/reviewer. Is that intentional?

We tend to share a project among colleagues sometimes simply for the purpose of being able to use a related language project as a resource for comparison and ideas. Also, teams may want to share their project with community reviewers whom they want to comment on the translation.

But if all those people have access to the project registration and could potentially delete it from the registry or edit the registry, that would be very scary. I would want to be able to share my project with other teams working in the same language family without having to worry that one of them can accidentally delete it without my knowledge.

May I know what is behind this? Does it look more scary than it is? Or is this permission somehow different in my case as translation coordinator than for others?

I’d be grateful for some peace of mind…

Answer 1

Because consultants on some projects actually do a lot of the project-maintenance tasks, both administrators and consultants have the ability to delete/edit the project registration. Translators and observers should not have this ability. Also, the Registry will block you from deleting the project registration if the project exists on the S/R server (i.e. you need to delete the project from the S/R server before you can delete its registration).

Hopefully that gives you some peace of mind.

Well, that is somewhat reassuring. But I do think, in that case the category reviewer/observer and consultant should perhaps be split, because they have very different roles and know-how when it comes to project maintenance!
