Seat types, roles, and permissions

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

‍

Platform Seat

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

‍

Editor

The Editor seat 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?

  • UX writers, content designers, content strategists - to submit content edits in Frontitude or Figma.
  • UX designers - to sync edits to and from Figma.
  • Translators and linguists - to submit translations in Frontitude.
  • (If you're an agency) Clients - to submit content edits in Frontitude.

The Viewer seat allows collaborators to access a project or Review Mode in Frontitude with view-only permissions.

‍

Viewers can:

  • View content in projects and Review Mode in the web app
  • Comment on content
  • @mention other collaborators in comments

‍

Who usually needs a Viewer seat?

‍

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 collaborators 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).

‍

‍

UX Writing Assistant Seat

The UX Writing Assistant seat gives a collaborator access to our UX Writing Assistant only.

‍

Who usually needs a Writing Assistant seat?

  • UX designers - to get suggestions and feedback based on the team's content guidelines.
  • UX writers, content designers, content strategists - to create content guidelines and configure the UX Writing Assistant.
  • Design system managers - to link guidelines to design system design components.

‍

đź’ˇ A Bundle seat is available, combining both Editor and Writing Assistant seat permissions.
