This page will explain how to administrate permissions on your Pootle server. There are several rights which can be assigned to users or to a group of users (like all logged in users). Assigned rights apply to a specific language in a project, and applies to the whole project for that language.
Find the permissions interface as follows:
Here the current rights are listed as they are assigned. The user “nobody” refers to any user that is not logged in (an anonymous, unidentified user). The user “default” refers to the rights that all logged in users will have by default, unless other specific rights were assigned to them. The rest of the users are users of the Pootle server for which non-default rights were assigned.
In the list of permissions, you can simply select which rights must be assigned to that user or class of users. You might need to hold down the Ctrl key of you keyboard to select multiple rights. Changes will be updated when you submit the form.
To set permissions for a specific user, select the user in the dropdown list and set the specific rights for that user. This is only necessary if the user does not yet have their own set of rights defined.
To reset a user’s rights to the default rights, select the tick box next to their name and permissions list. When you submit, their rights will be reset to the default rights.
The permissions are stored in .prefs file in the project directory. To retain your settings if you move you po files to a new server, these files should be copied along with your PO files.
