How to add project administrators

Owner

As a project owner, you can assign administrators to the localization projects hosted on your POEditor account.

For projects hosted on organizations, admins can be added by the organization owner and managers.

Adding admins in the project settings

You can add administrators to a localization project in its Settings. To add an admin, in the Access to Project section, click on Add Administrator.

Add Administrator (Project Settings) - POEditor Localization Tool

You can choose to add as admin a user that's already assigned to your project, or a new one. The number of admins you can have per localization project is not limited in any way.

Adding admins in the Contributors page

You can add a new user as an administrator in the top-level Contributors page, using the + button.

Add admin to your localization projects (Contributors page) - POEditor translation management system

In the same page, you also have the option to assign an existing user as an administrator, to a single project, to multiple projects or to all the projects you host in your POEditor account.

Adding admins using the API

To add an administrator with the API, use the contributors/add method.

Admin role limitations

Project admins can do anything the project owner can do in the localization project (add languages, import terms, add contributors etc.), except:

  • delete the localization project
  • add/delete new admins to the project
  • set up the Git integration for the localization project. However, the project owner can give the admin access to the Git integration after they've set it up.

Administrators are assigned on a project level, not on an account level, so they can't manage your account's billing. If you want someone to handle the payments for the software localization services you use, consider setting a payer on your account.
