Figure 1. User Type Permissions Controlling Translation Memory Access

These permissions, in combination with ACL permissions, control the following:
  • Translation Memory – Gives access to Tools > Translation Memories
  • Can browse TM – Allows you to browse a translation memory.
  • Can modify TM during upload – allows you to modify translation memory entries only during the upload of a translation kit to WorldServer. If this option is set, when you upload the translation kit, you are presented with the additional option: Update the WorldServer Translation Memory? If you choose to do so, the kit import will update the TM. If you allow full access, users can modify, delete, and see other TM entries. If you switch all the other TM permissions off and only leave this one enabled, you limit users to uploading their own work for their own assets that they are assigned to work on.
  • Can modify TM – Allows you to modify translation memory entries.
  • Can import entries into TM – Controls the availability of the Import TM from TMX File button in Tools > Translation Memories > Translation Memory: <TM>.
  • Can delete entries from TM – controls the availability of the Delete Selected button in Tools > Translation Memories > Translation Memory: <TM> that appears when you have searched and have a result set.
  • Can purge TM – controls the availability of the Purge TM Data button in Tools > Translation Memories > Translation Memory: <TM>.
  • Can delete result set – controls the availability of the Delete Result Set button in Tools > Translation Memories > Translation Memory: <TM> that appears when you have searched and have a result set. When you enable this button, the Delete Selected button is also enabled.
  • Can change status of TM entries – TM entries have statuses when you are in Live TM mode. This permission governs a user's ability to change status for a TM entry.
  • Can export from TM – controls the availability of the Export TM as TMX File, Export Selected, and Export Result Set buttons in Tools > Translation Memories > Translation Memory: <TM> that appear when you have searched and have a result set.
