Granting permissions for SDL Online Editor

To translate and review assets in SDL Online Editor, your users need to have the appropriate permissions in WorldServer. You can grant permissions per user type. By default, administrators have all the permissions related to SDL Online Editor, while users belonging to custom user types do not have any such permissions.

Procedure

  1. In WorldServer, go to Management > User Setup > User Types.
  2. Click the user type to which you want to grant permissions.
  3. On the User Type: <name> page, under "Edit/Translate" button, select the SDL Online Editor check box.
    The users in the current user type can now open assets in SDL Online Editor.
  4. At the bottom of the same page, under SDL Online Editor, grant some or all of the following permissions, according to your needs:
    • SDL Online Editor – Use this option to select or clear all the check boxes under this one.
    • Track Changes – Select this check box to allow the users in the current user type to track changes.
    • Translation Memory – Select this check box to allow the users in the current user type to search and update the translation memory. The Lookups pane is displayed by default when a user with this permission opens an asset in SDL Online Editor.
    • Comments – Select this check box to allow users in the current user type to view, add, or modify comments.
    • Edit Source – Select this check box to allow users in the current user type to split and merge segments.
