Allowing Sub-Users to Share Surveys

By default, all sharing of survey permissions between users on a multi-user account must be done by the Master User.

However, Master Users can activate a feature which will allow sub-users to share their own surveys (That is, surveys where they are the survey owner, and not those shared with them) with other users on the account.

Activating Sub-User Permission Sharing

To activate Permission Sharing for Sub-users, navigate to the “User Management” section of your account by choosing it from the “Account” drop-down in the top nav bar.

On the user management page, in the upper-right of the table that lists the users on the account, there’s a grey button, next to the search box. Click this button.

Click the toggle switch to allow sub-users to share surveys with other sub-users, then click “apply changes” to save the change.

The sub-users will now be able to share survey permissions.
