How to assign the right role for each editor type?

Editor roles are here and to help ease any confusion, we have two tables to break down the different requirements for each position and what role you should grant the team member based on what permissions they need. Granting the editor the right permissions gives them the freedom to work with the correct permissions needed to complete their jobs as editors.

 

Editor Type (Position) Requirements for Position Suggested Role Assignment
General Editor Fluent in English + Familiarity with Viki's subtitle guidelines Editor
Translation Editor Translation Experience + Fluent in Origin Language + Fluent in language being translated English Moderator or Editor
Chief Editor Translation Experience + Fluent in English + QC/QC Gold Status English Moderator or All Language Moderator

 

How each role and the permissions of each role provide editors with the access they need.
