Permissions Setup

The survey administrator must define who will have permission to administrate the coding process and who will have permission to code the open-text questions. This is set up for the survey in the survey's Permissions window.

1. Open the required survey.
2. Go to the Survey Management > Permissions menu command.

The Project Permissions page opens - . Note that Online Coding has two possible permissions: Administrate..., which allows you to assign coders and activate filters, and Code opentext which allows you to perform the actual coding work on the survey.

3. In the list, find the user you wish to allocate permission to and click the box in the Administrate Online Coding and/or the Code Opentext columns as appropriate to place checkmarks there.
4. Click Save to save the changes.

The user will now have the appropriate commands available in the Survey Data > Coding menu, and will be able to assign coders to questions and activate filters in Online Coding and/or perform the coding as specified.
