This is part 1 of the full wxrks permission-by-permission reference, organized by category to match the tabs on a user's Permissions page. For the four roles, how inherited permissions work, and how to grant or revoke one, see All about wxrks roles — this page picks up where that one leaves off.

Roles: AA = Account Admin, PM = Project Manager, CL = Client, VE = Vendor. A "No" means the role does not inherit the permission automatically — but an Account Admin can still grant it individually (unless noted otherwise).

Account

Permission	Description	AA	PM	CL	VE
Account Retrieve	Ability to retrieve an Account	Yes	No	No	No

In practice:

Account Retrieve — Required to access Account settings pages. Without it, account configuration sections are unavailable.
Add Account Seat / Remove Account Seat — Control the ability to increase or decrease the number of billable seats on the account. Adding a seat may trigger billing charges. These actions appear in the Account settings area and are exclusive to Account Admins.

Payables Run Payout — Enables the Payout action that triggers the payment processing flow within the platform (e.g., sending payments via configured payment methods). Without it, the Payout button is not accessible.
Payables Manual Creation — Allows creating payable records manually (outside of task-based automatic payable generation). Used when payment amounts need to be entered directly.
Cancel Payable — Shows a Cancel option in the payable actions dropdown. Without it, payables can be viewed and approved but not cancelled.
Payables Update — Allows editing payable attributes such as status, amount, and currency after creation.
Import Payables from File — Shows an Import section on the Payables page with controls to upload an Excel file containing multiple payable records. Without it, the import section is hidden.

Create Connector Config — Shows the button to create a new connector configuration. Without it, existing configurations can be viewed but no new ones can be added.
Sync Connectors — On a connector's detail page, shows the Sync button that pulls new content entries and creates wxrks projects based on the connector configuration. Without it, the Sync action is unavailable.
List Entries of Connector Projects — Shows the list of content entries that a connector has bound to wxrks projects. Without it, connector entries cannot be browsed.
Deliver Connector Projects — Shows the Deliver button to push completed translations back to the connector's target system (CMS, source tool, etc.). Without it, deliveries must be handled outside the platform.

Update Back Translation	Allows users to manually edit Back Translation in the Editor and persist this update on segment changes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes
View TM User Metadata	Allows viewing the metadata of users who created or modified the Translation Memory	Yes	Yes	No	No

In practice:

Open Editor — The fundamental gate to the translation interface. Without it, clicking on a task does not open the Editor. Every user who needs to translate or review content must have this permission.
Auto-translation — Shows the Auto-translation button in the Editor header. Clicking it runs machine translation on empty or unconfirmed segments. Without it, the button is not displayed and auto-translation cannot be triggered from inside the Editor.
Confirm All Segments (In Editor) — Adds a Confirm All button in the Editor header. Without it, the user must confirm segments one by one using the individual confirm action per segment. Note: this is different from the Task permission "Confirm All Segments (Outside Editor)", which works from the task list without opening the Editor.
Lock Segments — Adds lock and unlock controls to individual segments in the Editor. A locked segment cannot be modified by other users. Without this permission, the lock controls are not displayed and segments cannot be protected.
Add Terms to Glossary — When hovering over a term in the Editor, a tooltip appears with a "+" icon to add it as a new glossary entry. Without this permission, the "+" icon is hidden and terms cannot be added to the glossary from within the Editor.
Editor Update Glossary — In the Glossary panel on the right side of the Editor, each match shows an edit (pencil) icon. Without this permission, the edit icon is hidden and glossary terms cannot be updated from inside the Editor.
Editor Delete Glossary — In the Glossary panel, each match shows a delete (trash) icon. Without this permission, the delete icon is hidden and glossary terms cannot be removed from inside the Editor.
Editor Glossary Terms Search — Controls whether the Glossary panel appears in the right-side panel of the Editor (alongside TM suggestions). Without it, the Glossary panel is completely hidden, so users cannot search or consult glossary terms while translating.
View TM User Metadata — In the Translation Memory suggestions panel, each TM match can show who created or last modified it (username and date). With this permission, that metadata is displayed alongside the match. Without it, only the match text and score are shown, with no authorship info.
TM Upsert — When a user confirms a translation segment, it is automatically pushed to the associated Translation Memory so future projects can reuse it. Without this permission, confirming a segment does not update the TM, and confirmed translations are not saved for reuse.
Authenticated Web Preview — The Web Preview feature lets users see how a translated string looks in the live product. Some preview URLs require HTTP Basic Authentication. This permission enables loading those authenticated previews. Without it, only publicly accessible preview URLs work.
Update Back Translation — Each segment in the Editor can display a back translation — a machine translation of the target text back into the source language — to help reviewers verify accuracy. With this permission, the back translation field becomes manually editable and the edited value persists when the segment changes. Without it, the back translation is read-only.
Edit Source Segments — Makes the source segment text directly editable inside the Editor. Without it, the source column is read-only and only the target (translation) can be changed.
Editor Download Files — Adds a download button in the Editor header to download the original source file and the current translated file directly from inside the Editor. This is separate from Project Download Files, which provides the same action from the project's work unit list outside the Editor.
Add Terms to Spell Checker Exception List — In the QA panel, when a segment has a spelling error flagged, users with this permission see an option to add that word to the Spell Checker Exception List, preventing it from being flagged again in future segments. Without it, the "Add to exception list" option is not shown.

Glossary

Permission	Description	AA	PM	CL	VE
Glossary Create	Ability to create a new glossary	Yes	No	No	No
Glossary Delete	Ability to delete a glossary	Yes	No	No	No
Glossary Export	Ability to export a glossary	Yes	Yes	No	No
Glossary List	Ability to list glossaries	Yes	Yes	No	No
Glossary Retrieve	Ability to retrieve a single glossary	Yes	Yes	No	No
Glossary Update	Ability to update a glossary	Yes	No	No	No

In practice:

Glossary List — Controls whether the Glossaries and Terms tabs appear on the Glossary page, and whether the Glossaries item appears in the main navigation. Without it, the glossary list and the glossary navigation menu are hidden entirely.
Glossary Create — Shows the Create Glossary button on the Glossary page, the Add term option inside a glossary's concept view, and the option to add a new glossary to a project. Without it, existing glossaries can be viewed but no new glossary or term can be created.
Glossary Update — Shows the edit (pencil) icon on glossary terms and the Edit option in a glossary's actions dropdown. Without it, terms and glossary settings are read-only.
Glossary Delete — Shows the Clear and Delete options in a glossary's actions dropdown, and the delete (trash) icon on individual terms. Without it, glossaries and terms can be viewed and edited but not removed.
Glossary Export — Shows the Export option (and the related import button) in a glossary's actions dropdown. Without it, the glossary cannot be exported to a file.
Glossary Retrieve — Required to open a single glossary's detail page (e.g., by clicking its name from the glossary list or from a project's Glossary tab). Without it, glossary names appear but are not clickable links.

Troubleshooting: a user cannot add glossary terms. Follow these steps:

Verify general Glossary permissions — ensure the Glossary permissions above are enabled for the user.
Check Editor permissions — confirm that Add Terms to Glossary is enabled under the Editor section for users who work mainly in the Editor.
Review role-specific settings — review the user's role (e.g., Vendor) to ensure it includes the necessary permissions, and grant the missing ones individually if needed.
