Membership Approver’s Guide to the Registry

Membership approvers are responsible for reviewing the user registration requests that are made to their organization. They will typically have access to personnel records for the organization in order to identify the registrant and their role.

Criteria for approval

User must have a translation, translation support, or publication role that is supervised by your organization.

Approval process

When the user registers and specifies your organization from the drop down list, they are added to the top of the list for your organization at https://registry.paratext.org like this:

You will be notified once a day by email about new membership requests.  The email will contain a link that takes you directly to the Membership Requests page.

Process Membership Requests

Please see How Do I Process Membership Requests for steps to Approve, Redirect, or Reject membership requests.

Automatic approval

Upgrading with Paratext 7 license

When users upgrade from Paratext 7 with a valid license, they will automatically be approved.  In this case, the email you receive will just be a notification that the person has registered.

Email auto-approval

It is possible to set an auto-approval email domain, such as “translator.org”.  This must be done by the registry administrator for your organization. Please note that if you set an auto approval domain, you must pay close attention to the emails messages that notify you when someone has registered.  Just because they have an email address for your organization does not mean that they have a role in translation.
