User management

SDL Passolo offers a function for managing users in localization projects. Users log in on the Start Page of Passolo (see The Start Page). Whenever the comments for a source list entry or the translation or status of a translation list entry are modified, Passolo stores the name of the current user with the entry. This enables the localization manager to determine who made which changes to an entry. This facilitates the quality assurance process, especially in distributed projects.

To specify the user management options, click Home tab > Edit User List. No users are defined by default.

Click on Add to add a new user. The Edit User Dialog will appear.

Click on Edit to modify the settings for the selected user. The Edit user dialog will appear.

Click on Remove to delete the selected user from the list.

By activating User log in requested on startup, you can specify that Passolo can only be started when a user is specified.

By activating Get user name from Windows log in, you can specify that the name of the current Windows user will be used for logging in to Passolo.
