The user who creates a template has full administrator rights to that template. All other users have no rights; they cannot even see the template in their template list, until the creator has allocated the appropriate rights to them.
If a template is linked to a project, you can set that the template permissions are to be inherited from that project. Then if the user has for example Read access to the project, the user will also have Read access to the template.
However, the templates a user has implicit access to will only be listed when the user filters on a specific project, for example when accessing through Survey Data > Templates or using the Template Source = "Current Project" filter. When the user is viewing the entire Template List, only those templates that he/she has direct access to will be listed.
To set a user's permission for a template, click the down-arrow in the Permission Type column and select the appropriate permission. On completion, save the changes. The template permissions are:
- Inherit from project - the user has the same access to the template as to the project (Read, Write or Delete. Note that Administrate is not inherited).
- None - the user has no access to the template irrespective of the user's access to the project.
- Read, Write, Delete, Administrate - these are direct accesses. Any permission the may user have to the project is ignored in this case.
Note: Inherit from project is the default when generating a new template.
