Data Collector

Description: Able view and edit survey items AND also able to launch surveys both online and using remote data collector.

Designer

Description: Designers can create and edit surveys. Designers cannot approve surveys--not even their own surveys. After a Designer creates a survey, it must be approved by a Publisher, Power User, or Administrator before it can be published. Designers can also submit items such as questions and Text/HTML objects to the repository. See the table below for a full listing of Designer privileges.

Designer/Analyst

Description: The Designer-Analyst has all the privileges of the Designer and the Analyst.

Email Manager

Description: Email Managers may define and initiate email jobs (e.g. sending out email invitations to participants). They cannot work with surveys or view survey results or participant lists.

Excluded

Description: This role has no privileges whatsoever. Generally, you assign this role within a limited realm. For example, one of your Users has Publisher privileges on all of your surveys. However, this User must not be allowed to access Survey X at all. Assign this User the "Excluded" role on Survey X, and he or she will be prevented from accessing the survey in any way. On all other surveys, the User's normal role will continue to apply.

Power Analyst

Description:  The Power Analyst has all of the same privileges as the Analyst, plus the ability to create cross survey views.

Power User

Description:  The power User has all of the privileges of the Designer, Power Analyst, Email Manager and Participant Manager.

Publisher

Description:  Publishers can create and edit surveys through the Survey Designer, and can approve and reject their own surveys, and the surveys of others. This is important, because surveys cannot be published until they are approved.

Publishers can also create, edit, and approve items in the survey repository.

Viewer

Description: Survey Viewers cannot create or edit surveys. They can view and execute shared queries in the Data Manager. They have no other privileges. The Viewer role is appropriate for an analyst who needs access only to a limited subset of data. (For example, a contractor or consultant.)
