System Administrator Topic: see MultiTerm Administrator
Termbase objects can be held on an SDL MultiTerm client or on an SDL MultiTerm server.
Termbase objects held on a server are called server-based. Access rights only affect server-based objects.

Roles and Access Rights to Termbase Objects
When changing access to Termbase Objects, be aware of the Access Requirements for Users and the Access Requirements for Client Components.
An administrator with access to a server-based termbase has unrestricted access to the termbase objects.
Users on a client cannot change server-based termbase objects, though they might have access to read and run those objects.
When you create a server-based termbase object, you specify its access level. The access level affects which user accounts can access the object.
Every termbase objects is at one of three access levels:
Termbase Objects with Public Access Level – all users can read and run these.
Termbase Objects with Role Access Level – only members of the specified role can access these.
Termbase Objects with User Access Level – only the specified user can access these.
You specify the access level of a termbase object when you Create the object, and you cannot change that level.
Also, for role access level objects and for user access level objects, you cannot change the role or the user that is allowed to access the object.
However, you can Duplicate a Termbase Object and specify that the duplicate is created at another access level.
Access to import and export definitions require more rights than access to other termbase objects.
To use an import or export definition, a user must belong to a role that has import or export rights. (In addition the user needs access rights to the import / export definition termbase object).
Access rights to server-based termbase objects depend on the access level of the object:
A user who is in any role in a termbase can read a Termbase Object with Public Access Level.
Only the creator of a Termbase Object with User Access Level can access that object.
Only members of the role specified in a Termbase Object with Role Access Level can access that object.
You specify the access level for a termbase object when you create the termbase object in SDL MultiTerm Administrator.
To access termbase data, the user needs more access rights than just the appropriate access to the termbase entries. These additional access rights are as follows.
To view termbase entries, a user needs read access to at least one Layout.
In each new termbase, the default layout is in the Public Objects branch of the termbase tree.
If you delete the default layout, make sure that you provide sufficient access for users to view termbase data.
To edit termbase data, a user might need access to an Input Model:
If the user is in any role that has Must use input model the user needs read access to at least one input model.
If all the roles that the user belongs to, do not have Must use input model, the user does not need read access to any input models.
