Chapter 6. Access rights

LEXUS allows you to share your lexica with other registered LEXUS users. You can either assign them Read Rights only, which will enable the user to view the lexicon in his or her workspace, or you can grant Write Rights to other users. This means that this user can open the lexicon in his or her workspace and make changes to it.

To grant rights for a lexicon, move to the Workspace module and select the lexicon from the Available Lexica list. In the right frame select the Readers tab (or the Writers tab in case you want to grant writing rights). The Readers window shows you the users which are currently allowed to read this lexicon. Load users in LEXUS users to see all registered LEXUS users. Select the user(s) that you wish to grant rights to and drag them to the Readers window (Figure 6.1).

Note that lexica that have their origin in an external workspace, have a different icon than the ones created in the workspace and, only the lexicon owner can change their read/write rights.
