Permissions


In spaces where Scroll Translations is activated, certain actions can only be carried out if users are assigned specific Confluence permissions


Scroll Translations also introduces a permissions feature called Scroll Roles . However, we recommend using Confluence permissions as this is a more straightforward approach for granting permissions.

Confluence Permissions in Translated Spaces

Scroll Translations will treat you either as an Admin, an Author, or a Reader. You'll be treated as one of the three depending on the permissions in the space. The space permissions can be accessed via Space tools > Permissions.

Reader

Readers are users who only have View permissions in the space. As a Reader you can do the following:

  • Read the content in the space.

  • Switch between languages using the Language picker.

Author

Authors are users with at least Add page permissions in the space. As an Author you can:

  • Edit pages in the default language.

  • Translate content in the target languages. 

  • View the translation status of pages in the Translations report.

Admin 

Admins are users who either have Admin permissions in the space or global admin permissions . As an Admin you're authorized to perform the following administrative actions:

  • Activate Scroll Translations in the space.

  • Add target languages.

  • Delete target languages.

  • Export and import translation zips .
