Access controls for Translation Memory

In the Access Control tab, you can configure the visibility and modifiability of individual translation memories.
By default, access control is disabled for translation memory (Unrestricted) meaning that only user type permissions apply. The permissions selector fields are not visible. If you select the Restricted option, the permissions selector fields appear. These permissions control what users or groups have read or write access to specific translation memories.
These ACL permissions work in tandem with existing user type permissions. To browse a translation memory, your user type must have TM browse permission and read ACL permissions for that translation memory. Similarly, to be able to modify a TM entry, you must have TM modify permission for your user type and write ACL permissions for that translation memory.

TM group permissions will be derived from the TMs used within the TM group. A user will be allowed read permissions to the TM group as long as one TM within the group allows read permissions to that user. In such cases, TM entries can only be read or leveraged from TMs that allow the user read permissions. Access to management of TM groups trumps ACL permissions. For instance, if the user requests a list of all TMs in the TM group, he is only given a sub-list of those TMs for which he has permission to read.

Similarly, a user can only write to a TM group if the user has write permissions to the TM configured as the write TM for that TM group.
