Access Controls for Translation Memory

In the Access Control tab, you can configure the visibility and modifiability of individual translation memories. By default, access control is disabled for translation memory (Unrestricted) meaning that only user type permissions apply. The permissions selector fields are not visible. If you select the Restricted option, the permissions selector fields appear. These permissions control what users or groups have read or write access to specific translation memories.

TM group permissions will be derived from the TMs used within the TM group. A user will be allowed read permissions to the TM group as long as one TM within the group allows read permissions to that user. In such cases, TM entries can only be read or leveraged from TMs that allow the user read permissions. Access to management of TM groups trumps ACL permissions. For instance, if the user requests a list of all TMs in the TM group, he is only given a sub-list of those TMs for which he has permission to read.

Similarly, a user can only write to a TM group if the user has write permissions to the TM configured as the write TM for that TM group.
