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 Users section of your account by choosing it from the Circular Account Portrait drop-down in the top nav bar. Alternatively it can be selected from the blue navigation bar on the left of the Home page.

On the Users page, in the upper-right of the table that lists the users on the account, there’s a Three Dots (...) button, next to the search box. Click this button and select Settings from the drop-down.

Click the toggle switch to Allow sub-users to share surveys with other sub-users, then click the green Apply Changes button to save the change.

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

Sharing Survey Permissions as a Sub-User.

If the Master User on your account has activated Permission Sharing for sub-users, then any survey you are the owner of can be shared.

To Share survey permissions:

  1. Access the Survey
  2. From the Build tab, select the User Permissions option from the white nav bar on the left of the page
  3. Select the user with which you want to share permissions by clicking on their name. You can select multiple users to have the same permissions by shift-clicking
  4. Select the permissions you wish to share using the checkboxes on the right
  5. Click the green Apply Changes button when you're done

You can repeat this process for different sets of permissions for different users.

Once one or more users has permissions shared to the survey, they will be listed at the top of this pop-up, along with the permissions they have displayed as icons.

To remove other users’ permissions to the survey, click on the red “trash bin” icon for the user on the right.
