Adding member users

Member users are the permanent employees of an organization. To add member users to Trados Team, you must set up their profile.

About this task

The same procedure can also be performed from the Dashboard view. You can send member users an invitation by email when adding users or at a later date.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Trados Team (by accessing this link: http://languagecloud.sdl.com/lc).
  2. Go to the Users view and select the Members sub-tab.
  3. Select New Member.
  4. In the Invite a new member dialog:
    1. Enter the valid email addresses of the users you want to invite.
    2. From the Location list, select the account location where you want to invite your user.
    3. From the Groups list, specify the groups in which you want to include the users.
    4. (Optional) To send a message along with the invitation, enter the message in the Personal message box.
    5. Select whether you want the user to log in and be redirected to Trados Team (Default) or to Trados Customer Portal (Customer Portal). Note that you should select Customer Portal only if you invite users to the following groups: Customer Requester or Customer Requester Restricted.
    6. Choose one of the following:
      • Send an invitation email straight away, by selecting the Send email invitation check box.
      • Do not send an invitation email, by clearing the Send email invitation check box. If you choose this option, you must send users an invitation email later on by following the instructionsin this topic. It is useful to postpone the invitation email, if you want to finish setting up resources and projects before users actually have access to the cloud platform.
    7. Select Invite.

Results

When you add users, the users are INACTIVE until they accept the invitation. You can add inactive user to groups. To become ACTIVE, users must accept the invitation that they receive via email.

When you add a user into group B and your user is already a member of group A (the user already accepted the invitation for group A), the user receives a separate invitation to join group B.

To be assigned tasks in the project workflow, users do not need to accept the invitation. However, users must accept the invitation to be able to accept tasks and work on them.

To locate the group or groups a user belongs to, check the path under the GROUPS column.

If users try to log in without accepting the invitation first, the application prompts them to accept the email invitation and also offers them a Resend invitation option.
