Assigning Translators from Another Company

You can give translator permissions to translators who are registered as users under another company on your server. Do this via the survey that is to be translated - the procedure is the same as when you give other uses permission to view and/or edit the survey (go to Permissions for more information).

To give permissions to a survey to users outside your company:

1. Go to the user's User Settings page and copy the User key - as shown in the example below.

2. Go to the Survey Overview page for the survey, and click the Permissions tab.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Add other users link.

A text input field appears.

4. Paste the User key into the field - .

Note: Ensure that you do not have any white-space before or after the User Key.

5. Click the Add button.

The user is added to the Object permissions list under Other users/Groups - .

Assigning Groups of Translators

You can also give translator permissions to entire groups of translators who are users registered under different companies on your server. By adding translators to a group you avoid giving survey access to them on an individual level. Contact your Forsta Administrator to create users and groups.

Note: The survey manager/administrator himself must be a member of the group to see the group in the survey Object permissions - .

The new group will also be displayed in the Translation overview under Assign Translators.

Once the group has been assigned to the survey, all translators in the group will be displayed under Assigned Translators - .
