Hi everyone!

One of my longstanding clients started using GroupShare today. After I had delivered the project by checking in the file and changing the phase to review, I tried to remove the project from "in progress" in my own local projects list (I am not talking about "their" lists on the GroupShare server). I then got the error message "You cannot complete this project because you do not have required permission".

Hi everyone!

One of my longstanding clients started using GroupShare today. After I had delivered the project by checking in the file and changing the phase to review, I tried to remove the project from "in progress" in my own local projects list (I am not talking about "their" lists on the GroupShare server). I then got the error message "You cannot complete this project because you do not have required permission".

How do I solve this? The client has no idea; the project is marked as completed on their side. I really need to move the project from "in progress" to the list of completed projects, as it will be very difficult for me otherwise to keep track of the projects I am currently working on and the projects that I have already completed (which I must keep track of for billing and audit purposes).

I would be very grateful for your help!

(And yes, I posted this in the official SDL Community forum two days ago, to no avail.)

Kind regards,
Johanna

Unpublish your project May 13, 2020

As far as I remember, they (your client) should unpublish the project before you can remove it. This issue was raised years ago, but SDL are too busy with their super-innovative 2021 version. That is why they have nothing to say.
When your client has the project unpublished, try removing your local files again. Then they can re-publish it if need be.

Solution found - thanks Stepan! May 13, 2020

Stepan,

Thank you so much for your response! I got an error message stating that I did not have permission to unpublish the project, but in fact, it moved nicely to the "completed" projects list and disappeared from the "in progress" list - and I didn't have to bother my client again. (I fact, I will tell them how I did this - they told me they got the same question from other translators working on the other language versions).

Kind regards,
Johanna

Just curious May 13, 2020

Why don't you highlight the project and click "remove from list"?

Why "remove from list" doesn't do the trick for me May 13, 2020

Heinrich,

If I simply use "remove from list", the project will not appear in my "Completed" list, where I need it to show up for follow-up and billing purposes.
