Access control¶
Weblate uses privileges system based on Django. The default setup (after you
run setupgroups) consists of three groups Guests, Users,
Owners and Managers which have privileges as described above. All new
users are automatically added to Users group. The Guests groups is used for
not logged in users. The Owners groups adds special privileges to users
owning a project.
Basically Users are meant as regular translators and Managers for developers who need more control over the translation - they can force committing changes to VCS, push changes upstream (if Weblate is configured to do so) or disable translation (eg. when there are some major changes happening upstream).
To customize this setup, it is recommended to remove privileges from Users group and create additional groups with finer privileges (eg. Translators group, which will be allowed to save translations and manage suggestions) and add selected users to this group. You can do all this from Django admin interface.
To completely lock down your Weblate installation you can use
LOGIN_REQUIRED_URLS for forcing users to login and
REGISTRATION_OPEN for disallowing new registrations.

Per project access control¶
Добавлено в версии 1.4: This feature is available since Weblate 1.4.
Примечание
By enabling ACL, all users are prohibited to access anything within given project unless you add them the permission to do that.
Additionally you can limit users access to individual projects. This feature is enabled by Enable ACL at Project configuration. Once you enable this, users without specific privilege (trans | project | Can access project NAME) can not access this project. An user group with same name as a project is also automatically created to ease you management of the privilege.
To allow access to this project, you have to add the privilege to do so either directly to given user or group of users in Django admin interface. Or using user management on project page as described in Managing per project access control.
Managing users and groups¶
All users and groups can be managed using Django admin interface, which is
available under /admin/ URL.
Managing per project access control¶
Примечание
This feature only works for ACL controlled projects, see Per project access control.
Users with Can manage ACL rules for a project privilege (see Access control) can also manage users in projects with access control enabled on the project page. You can add or remove users to the project or make them owners.
The user management is available in Tools menu of a project:
