This is part 2 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 and how permissions work, see All about wxrks roles. Part 1 covers Account through Organizational Unit: see wxrks Permissions Reference: Account to Organizational Unit.
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).

In practice:
Project Cost Calculate — In the Project's Costs tab, controls access to the cost calculation feature. With it, the user can trigger a recalculation of costs for each language pair. Without it, cost rows are visible but read-only, and no recalculation can be triggered.
Profitability Margin — In the task card and task overview, shows a profitability metrics section (revenue vs. cost). This permission is not inherited by any role — it must be granted individually. Without it, the profitability section is always hidden.
Project Get Recommendations — When creating a project or adding resources, the system can suggest workflow configurations based on the resources available (linguists, TMs, glossaries). Without this permission, no recommendations are fetched or shown.
Project Download Files — In the work unit list outside the Editor, controls whether the user sees options to download the original source file and the current translated file. Without it, the download options in the work unit list are not presented. Note: this is separate from Editor Download Files, which provides the same action from within the Editor.
Download Deliverable File — Controls access to downloading deliverable files — non-translatable files that flow through a workflow step (e.g., final assets, signed-off documents). This is separate from translatable file downloads.
Upload Deliverable File — Controls whether the user can upload deliverable files to a project. Appears as a dropdown action in the task/vendor task list.
Project Export or Import file — Shows an Import Genesis file action in the project dropdown. Used to export or import the project file in the platform-specific format for offline editing or integration workflows.
Project Manager Select (Project) — Controls whether the user can assign or change the Project Manager on a specific project. Without it, the PM assignment field in a project is locked. Note: there is a separate Project Manager Select (Org Unit) permission that controls PM assignment at the organizational unit level.
Change status from DELIVERED to DRAFT — When a project is in DELIVERED status, this permission enables the Revert to Draft action in the project actions menu. Without it, DELIVERED is effectively a terminal status and cannot be reverted.
Project Delete — Shows the Delete project option in the project actions dropdown. Without it, projects can be cancelled or archived but not permanently deleted.
Work Unit Delete — Shows a delete button on individual work unit cards within a project. Without it, work units can be managed but not permanently removed.
PDF Preview Files — PDF Guide files are preview-only PDF versions of source documents attached to a project to give context to linguists. The List, Create, and Delete permissions control whether the user can view, add, or remove these files. Vendors can list and create/delete PDF guide files but cannot manage other file types.
Media Files — Media files are non-text assets (images, videos) attached to a project for context or delivery. The List, Create, Update, Delete, and Upload permissions mirror standard file management. Vendors can only list media files; all editing actions require Project Manager or Account Admin permissions.

Quality Dashboard | Ability to view dashboard of qualities charts | Yes | Yes | No | No |

Reviews Retrieve | Ability to retrieve a single work unit review | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |

List Work Unit Reviews / Reviews Retrieve — Control access to the quality review records attached to work units (reviewer scores, comments, issue annotations). Vendors can view reviews on their own work; Project Managers and Account Admins can access reviews across all work units.
Quality Reports — Controls whether the user can open and download quality report files (QA report exports) attached to work units. Without it, report files cannot be accessed.
Search
Permission | Description | AA | PM | CL | VE |
Global Search | Ability to use the global search bar | Yes | Yes | No | No |
In practice:
Global Search — Controls the search bar visible in the top navigation bar. Without this permission, the search bar is not displayed and the
/searchpage returns an access denied error. With it, the user can search across projects, users, tasks, and other platform entities from any page.
