Organizations and users
Every user has a home organization. To view or change a user's details, you need to have the appropriate permissions to the user's home organization.
Organization hierarchy
Every organization except the top level organization is a subsidiary of another organization. This means that organizations form a hierarchy with just one organization-the root organization-at the top.
If an organization is a subsidiary of another organization, this has the following effect:
- SDL Trados GroupShare displays the organizations in a hierarchy.
- The roles assigned to the users in a root organization propagate to subsidiary organizations. In other words, the effective set of roles assigned in an organization is the sum of the roles assigned in that organization and higher ones
Example: Users, roles and permissions for a single-level organization
This example shows how the users of a single-level organization can use a translation memory (TM) resource.
The software requires a user to have the Read permission for a TM. When Adam tries to read the TM, SDL Trados GroupShare searches the roles assigned in the Europe organization to find Adam's role. It then searches the roles table to find what permissions that role confers.
Example: Users, roles and permissions for a multi-level organization
This example shows how the users of a multi-level organization can use a translation memory (TM) resource.
