Assigning permissions to user groups

You group users by assigning them roles in the same organization. Working with specific user groups is useful when you want all its members to be assigned the same role and be given access to the same resources.

Before you begin

Make sure you created an organization for your user group. Make sure you added the relevant users to the user group.

About this task

Organizations can be seen as user groups. For example, you can create a user group that has Translator role permissions to a translation memory.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Users view and select the Permissions tab.
  2. Select the organization corresponding to the user group of interest.
  3. In the right-hand side pane, identify the role you want to assign to your user. If necessary, select .
  4. Under the role of your choice, select the Grant [role name] permissions to ... field.
  5. In the list, select the user you want to assign the role to.
  6. Repeat step 5 to add as many users as you need to.

Example: Assign permissions to a Translator group and to a Reviewer group

You want to make sure that all your translators who specialize in the English-Japanese (EN-JP) language pair work consistently irrespective of the project they are assigned. You decide to create a user group where all users have Translator role permissions to a translation memory.

  1. Create the Translators EN-JPorganization for your user group.
  2. Assign your EN-JP translators the Translator role within the Translator EN-JPorganization.
  3. Assign the translators the EN-JP language direction.
  4. Within the Translators EN-JPorganization, add a link to the translation memory or move the translation memory into the organization.

Next, you want to provide another group of users, a reviewer group, different permissions over the same translation memory. You decide to create a Reviewers EN-JPorganization where each member has Reviewer role permissions, and then add a link from the translation memory to the Reviewers EN-JP organization.
