Creating a Translation Manager User Group

An administrator can optionally create one or more user groups containing lists of users who will function as translation managers for translation workflows.

Although you can assign individual users to the translation manager role, managing access controls through user groups insulates the administrator from staffing changes and ensures consistent assignment of the role.

If only one set of users will oversee all translations performed in the repository, create just one user group. If different sets of users serve as translation managers for different project areas, create a user group for each project area.

  1. In the Navigation area, right click All Groups and select Administration > Create > New Group.
    The New Group dialog appears.
  2. Enter a group Name.
    For example, enter Translation Managers or, if you are creating multiple groups, Translation Managers for Project XYZ.
  3. Enter an optional Description to further identify the purpose of the group.
  4. From the Available Member Users box, select users as appropriate for this to the Present box.
  5. Click OK.
The new group is saved in the repository and can be used to assign its users to the role of translation manager in a Define Access Controls dialog. See Identifying Users for the Translation Manager Role.
