Power Users

Power users are users who are given access to features that might cause serious damage.

Power users are not just admin users. An admin may or may not be a power user.

Because power users can mess up the entire translation, you should really only give the authority to people who understand what they are doing. Don't make this a pride or status thing.

This page will describe power user features as they become available.

Editing a gloss

Power users see an edit icon next to a gloss line. Click the icon to be change the text of the gloss.

The warning here is that this will change the gloss everywhere that it appears. If you edit the gloss for Jesus (Ἰησοῦς) in the gospel of Matthew, it will change it in Romans and Revelation as well. Everywhere.

This is really only appropriate the situation where someone has made a spelling mistake.

Deleting a gloss

By clicking on the same edit icon, you will see the “Delete This Gloss” button. It will give you a warning message, and make you type “DELETE” into a box so that you don't just click OK by accident.

As with editing, this will delete that gloss everywhere in the project. The gloss will disappear. Any votes for the gloss will disappear. Consider how far this might set you back before you do this.
