Restricted Privileges

If you use Acrolinx to manage terms for different languages and domains, you might want to ensure that your translators and terminologists can only edit the terms and term settings that are relevant to their role. To do this, add restrictions to the privileges so that users can only edit a term if the term is associated with a specific language or domain.

You can add restrictions to the privileges that enable users to Edit terms and to Change the status of a term. These privileges appear in the Terminology section of the Edit role page. You can only add one language or domain for each restriction. To restrict a user to more than one language or domain, give the user multiple roles with the relevant restrictions.

When working with these restrictions, it’s important to understand where Acrolinx stores term information. Suppose that a head term is English and your translator can only edit the German translations of this term. Some of the term information only applies to the relevant language. The translator can therefore edit this language-specific information. Other term information is stored in the English head term and "passed on" to the German term. The translator with a restriction for German terms can't edit this information — because for Acrolinx, it’s in English.
