Permissions

Understand Translation-section access, normal content permissions and administrator-only controls.

Translation section access

Translation facilities are available to administrators and backoffice users whose user group grants access to Umbraco's built-in Translation section.

Content permissions still apply

Section access unlocks Omni's UI and API, but it does not bypass Umbraco content security. Previewing requires browse permission. Starting or cancelling content translation requires update permission for the page and target culture.

Overwrite existing values

Translation-section users may replace existing Dictionary/content translations and force selected content properties by default. Set this to false to restrict those operations to administrators:

"DiploTranslatorOmni": {
  "Permissions": {
    "AllowSectionUsersToOverwriteExistingValues": false
  }
}

Glossary management

Translation-section users may manage glossary rules by default. Because glossary rules become organisation-wide AI instructions, grant access only to trusted users. Restrict management to administrators with:

"DiploTranslatorOmni": {
  "Glossary": {
    "AllowSectionUsersToManage": false
  }
}

Job visibility

Non-administrator users can inspect and cancel only Dictionary jobs they requested. Administrators retain access to all Dictionary job details for support and oversight.
