# Roles and Permissions

> Understand how access is controlled across your organization.

Membership and roles are managed through your **organization** (powered by Clerk).
LinguLink checks roles for a few specific actions; everything else is available to
authenticated members of the organization.

## Roles LinguLink Recognizes

| Role        | What it gates                                                              |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `org:admin` | Permanently (hard) deleting projects from Trash; administrative operations |
| `admin`     | API key management; administrative API endpoints                           |
| `editor`    | Changing translation status, including bulk status updates                 |

Members without these roles can still work with projects and translations; the
roles above only restrict the elevated actions listed.

## Good Practices

* Keep `org:admin` limited to operational owners
* Use `editor` for day-to-day localization and review work
* Issue scoped [API keys](/api/api-keys) rather than sharing admin access

## Review Cadence

* Periodic role audit
* Immediate review after team changes
* Pre-release validation for high-risk projects
