Restricting the download of project files

SDL Trados GroupShare can restrict the download of project files to some roles only. The Secure Project File Download permission is assigned to the following roles by default: Administrator, Power User and Project Manager.

Before you begin

You must be assigned a role which has the Secure Project File Download permission to restrict the download of project files by other users. You can enable the download restriction during project creation.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select New Project.
  2. In the General Settings tab of the New Project window:
    1. Provide a name and a description for your project.
    2. Select a location in the organization.
    3. Select a project template from the list.
    4. Browse for or drag and drop translatable files: the *zip archive (containing all the project files) or individual files.
    5. Optionally, set a due date and time for your project.
    6. If you select the Restrict file downloads for this project checkbox, only the roles which have the Secure Project File Download permission will be able to download the source files and the translated files. By default, the Secure Project File Download permission is available for the following roles: Administrator, Power User, Project Manager.
  3. In the New Project window, select the Reference Projects tab and configure it. This is a non-standard feature which you can purchase based on a contractual agreement.
  4. Select Finish.
    The new project is added to the Projects list and instantly visible to all the users with access to the project. Trados GroupShare also shows these users an on-screen notification about the new project.

Results

Only the roles which have the Secure Project File Download permission, will be able to download the source files and the translated files.
