User, Group, & Division Permissions

About Permissions

This page details the various user permissions that you are able to enable and disable for each user, group, or division.

If you are a brand administrator and would like information on how to change permissions, visit the Creating and Managing Users support page. Note that not all of these permissions may be available for your license. If you are the brand administrator and are interested in enabling one of these permissions for your license, please reach out to your Qualtrics Account Executive or XM Success Manager.

Enabling Advanced Feature Permissions

As a brand administrator, you will be responsible for several duties within your organization. One of these duties is to make sure the correct permissions are enabled for each user. Depending on your license and if the feature was purchased, you may have specific advanced permissions enabled for your account. Laid out below is which advanced permissions are automatically enabled for your license, and which permissions you will have to enable for other users who wish to use the feature.

Advanced permissions automatically enabled for the entire brand (all users)

• File Upload
• Signature Question
• Highlight Text
• Stats iQ – Individual User
  Qtip: For most licenses, this permission will be automatically enabled for all users. However, if you’ve purchased Stats iQ for only a subset of users on your license, then this permission will need to be manually enabled by a brand administrator for any users who need access to Stats iQ.

  Attention: This permission is required to run any Public APIs that will affect the Directory.

Permission Interactions

Sometimes you may wonder how Division and user permissions interact with each other. This section will explain how the interactions work.

User & Division Permissions

General Guidelines

• Division permissions generally override other permissions when disabling a feature. If a feature is disabled for a Division, it will be disabled for the user and cannot be manually enabled for the user. The User Type does not matter in this setting.
• If a feature is disabled for the User Type but enabled for the Division, the feature will be disabled for the user but it can be manually enabled for the user.
• Permissions manually set for an individual user will override User Type settings if there is no Division or if the feature is enabled for the Division.
• Brand administrators are exceptions. Brand administrators should not be put in Divisions because they can manage users and Divisions from the Admin page without restrictions. If you would like a user to have administration capabilities for only a single Division, consider making the user a division administrator instead.
• Group permissions will only apply to the content within a group, not to the users themselves.

Survey Approval Process

If you would like to have more control over the types of surveys that your users within your organization send out, you can set up an approval process by using the Activate Surveys and Approve Surveys permissions. See the table below for how to set this up.

• Survey approver: This user has the ability to activate their own surveys and approve other’s surveys. When a survey approvee goes to activate a survey, they’ll see a dropdown menu of survey approvers they can request to activate their survey.
• Independent user: This user has the ability to activate their own surveys, but they won’t show up in the list of survey approvers.
• Survey approvee: This user doesn’t have the ability to activate their own surveys, nor the ability to activate anyone else’s survey. When they go to activate their survey, they’ll be able to send a request to a survey approver.
• N/A: This user can’t activate their own surveys, but can approve people’s surveys. This should not be used.

The process of approving a survey looks like this:

1. The survey approvee goes to the Distributions tab and tries to activate their survey by selecting a distribution method.
2. The approvee is presented a list of the survey approvers in the brand. They can select any one of these individuals to approve their surveys and provide additional comments about the survey.
   
3. The survey approver will receive an email alerting them that they have a survey to approve. They will see a list of surveys to approve at the top of their Home page. The approver can view the survey from that menu. When reviewing the survey, the approver will have access to the preview version of the survey.
   
4. Once the survey is approved, it is activated in the approvee’s account and can be distributed.
