Creating User Types

A user’s user type determines what WorldServer functionality that user can access. You may want to establish multiple levels of access, based on the user’s function in the globalization process. For example, you may want to prevent a junior translator from modifying the translation memory. The user type allows you to specify on a granular level what the users of that type can access. Create user types in Management > User Setup > User Types. Specify a user’s user type in Management > User Setup > Users.

By default, WorldServer provides an Administrator user type, which allows access to all features, and a Translator user type, which allows access to features that a Translator would typically need. You can modify these user types and create new user types.
