How is READER access assigned — is it manual?

What is the CDV review rule for READER access?

Users who hold the 'Revisable CDV' permission in EMS are additionally granted READER status when a project is at stage TCDV (40.00 — Translation of CDV) or TPUB (60.00 — Translation of publication). This is separate from the general commenting-stage rule.
