Symptom (example)

You have edit permission for a translation memory but cannot edit that memory.

Probable cause

The nominal permission to access a resource is usually not enough: you usually need additional permissions. For example, to edit a resource you always need the appropriate Read permission in addition to the Edit permission.

For the list of dependencies, see Dependencies between permissions.

Ask your administrator to give you all the appropriate permissions.

Example: generic dependency

To Edit, Manage or Delete a resource you also need View permission.

Example: edit a TM

To edit a translation memory, you need the following permissions:

  • Edit Translation memory

  • View Translation memory.

  • View Language resource

  • View fields
