Account structure

You start off from a default account structure to which you can add as many folders as needed.

Default account structure

The default account structure consists of a folder hierarchy where you can save your resources:
  • Root (folder)
    • Customers (folder)

The Root folder is the highest location in the hierarchy.

The Customers folder is the location where you add the clients or departments which request translation work from you. You can add as many customer folders under the Customers node.

Extended account structure

LSPs work with more than 1 customer and more than 1 department. Therefore, the default account structure must usually be extended with more than 1 folder.

A folder is created each time you add a customer.

Let's imagine that your customer are enterprises and that you customer subfolders are different departments within enterprises. Your account structure will look like this:
  • Root (folder)
    • Customers (folder)
      • Food Company (folder)
        • Dairy Department (subfolder)
        • Bakery Department (subfolder)
      • Pharmaceutical Company (folder)
        • Vaccine Department (subfolder)
        • Drug Department (subfolder)

In the next sections, we will dive deeper into understanding how this account structure influences resource inheritance in terms of resource visibility ad user access to these resources.
