Terminology Database Security
With the WorldServer security features for terminology database management, you have the following capability:
- You can restrict translators' write permission to terms in their own languages while allowing them to view terms in other languages.
- You can set up users with limited modify permission: they can edit individual terms, but they can't execute wide-ranging operations like purging the term database.
- You can define term entry or term attributes that are specific to one or more term databases. Someone editing a term or term entry will see only attributes that are relevant to that term database.
- You can limit access of a term database to specific users or groups. Read and modify permissions can be mixed: someone might have modify permissions for one term database but only browse permission on another and absolutely no access to a third term database.
This capability is achieved through a combination of:
- User Type permissions
- Attribute masking
- Access Controls
