Working with users, roles and permissions

To access an Trados GroupShare resource, a user needs to be part of an organization. Organizations give their users roles and permissions.

Guiding principles of GroupShare access control

  • Users can have one or more roles in an organization.
  • Users have the permissions granted by the role.
  • User can and usually do have different roles, and, therefore, different permissions, in different organizations.
  • Users' effective permissions in an organization consists of the sum of permissions granted by all the roles users have in that organization.

Example: Users want to update resources

When users try to access resources, for example to update a TM, Trados GroupShare compares the users' permissions to the permissions needed to perform the action. Users who do not have sufficient permissions cannot access resources and cannot perform actions on them.
