Translation Memory security
Translation memory in WorldServer has the following security features:
- You can restrict users’ write permissions to updating or adding TM entries during the translation process, but disallow them to edit TM entries directly.
- You can set up users with limited modify permission: they can edit individual TM entries, but they can't execute wide-ranging, bulk operations like purging the TM database.
- You can define TM entry attributes that are specific to one or more TM databases. Someone editing a TM entry will see only attributes that are relevant to that TM database.
- You can limit access of a TM database to specific users or groups. Read and modify permissions can mix: someone might have modify permissions for one TM database but only read permission on another and absolutely no access to a third TM database. For example, you can allow a user to only browse or leverage against a TM, while that same user may have full modify permissions in another TM. You can assign permissions to a user group, thus allowing the users associated with that group to gain permissions or have their permissions restricted based on that user group. If the user is assigned explicitly to an object, then user groups can be used to add additional permissions, but not to restrict, since the users rights are not provided solely by the user group.
This capability is achieved through a combination of:
- User type permissions
- Attribute masking
- Access Controls
