Roles in GS Cloud

Question

Hi 
 Helping a customer who bought GS Cloud to set up his TMs and users, I noticed that I cannot display or edit roles, although I am logged in as administrator. 
 As soon as I click on the tab "Roles", I get this error message: 
 
 Is this a general restriction for GS Cloud users or a configuration error? 
 The problem is that even if I am not able to define own roles - which may be acceptable - I cannot even lookup which access rights are assigned to which predefined role. So, how do I know what the differences are between a "Translator" and an "External Translator" for example.

Hi Walter, 
 
In this process you would typically make use of Project TMs to make sure only the reviewed SDLXLIFF Segments end up in the Master TM. 
 
Thanks,

Hi Walter, 
 
The External Translator always has write permissions by default, the only roles with read-only access to TM are Guest and MultiTerm Guest:

If there is a high priority to get this changed the best thing would be to raise it with support including a description of business impact so that it can follow the official flow. 
It's not trivial to change permissions on GS Cloud at this stage and no other subscriber has asked for this so far. 
 
Thanks, 
Luis

Hi all, 
 
We've introduced a new read only role for GroupShare Cloud. The help is currently being updated, but if you login you should see a new role. 
 
Thanks,
