Standard users

SDL Studio GroupShare is built with default users with predefined permissions for managing the most common actions.

SA (System Administrator)

SDL Studio GroupShare is built with the default System Administrator user which is available in the User Management view, from the Root Organization.

The System Administrator:

  • is member of the Administrator role in MultiTerm Administrator and in all GroupShare organizations and resource libraries
  • has unrestricted rights and can perform any activity in GroupShare and in MultiTerm Server
  • is automatically a member of the Expert User role in every MultiTerm termbase
  • has default access to the Licensing and Infrastructure views to check licensing information and manage server and databases

When you install MultiTerm Server on your computer, two new standard users are added to GroupShare in the Root Organization:

Super (MultiTerm Super User)

The first user of MultiTerm Administrator assumes the identity of the Super user.

The Super user:

  • has unrestricted rights and can perform any activity in the MultiTerm system
  • is an administrator and is automatically a member of the Expert User role in every MultiTerm termbase
  • can add other users to the role of Administrator
  • cannot be deleted

Login rules for the Super user:

  • MultiTerm Server does not allow the super user to log in more than once at the same time.
  • Provided no super user is already logged in, super can always log in, even if the maximum number of concurrent connections to the server has been reached

Recommendations

  • Edit the user account for super as soon as possible, and change the password from its default value, super, to a more secure one.
  • Do not use the super account routinely for administrative tasks. Give to one or more other user accounts administrator rights, and reserve super account for special circumstances.

Guest (MultiTerm Guest User)

The Guest user is a member of the predefined Public role in every termbase on MultiTerm Server.

Because membership of the Public role grants read-only access to termbase entries, the guest user account might be suitable for termbase visitors.

The guest user cannot log in to SDL MultiTerm Administrator as an administrator.

You can customize the super and guest user accounts and create new usersin order to better organize your translation team.
