About survey permissions

Survey permissions give another user of your survey site access to one survey, without access to the rest of the site. Use them for colleagues who edit, translate, invite participants or look at results. The user must already exist on your survey site; you add users in the global user management, which the global user management link at the bottom of the Survey permissions page opens.

Give a user access to a survey

1. Open the survey in the editor and click the users icon in the left toolbar (1). The Survey permissions page opens in a new browser tab.

2. Pick the user under User and click Add user (2). To add every member of a user group at once, pick the group under User group and click Add group users (3).

3. In the permissions table (4), tick what each user may do, for example Survey content, Responses, Statistics, Participants, Quotas, Assessments or Quick translation, and click Save.

Note: The Survey permissions page is a classic page. Unlike the editor, it saves only when you click Save.

Tip: Give translators only Quick translation. They can then translate the survey without changing its structure. See Run a survey in several languages with Quick translation.

Change or remove access

Open the Survey permissions page again. Use the icons under Action in the row of a user to edit their permissions or to remove the user from the survey.

FAQ

The user I want is not in the User list. Why?

Only users of your survey site are listed. Add the person in the global user management first, then come back to the survey.

What is the difference between the survey owner and a user with permissions?

The owner has every permission on the survey and is set in Settings > General. A user with survey permissions has only what you tick. See General settings.
