What Permissions are needed to configure a survey?

Users will need the Gainsight Standard permission set, as well as the Edit and Design Survey permissions described above in order to fully configure a survey.

What Permissions are needed to use the email service to send a survey?

Users will need the Gainsight Standard permission set, as well as the Distribute Survey Module permission described in order to send a survey to recipients. You may also want to give them the Publish Survey Module Permission, as a survey will need to be published before a recipient can respond to it. If users wish to send the survey via CoPilot, they will need the necessary CoPilot permissions. For more information on CoPilot permissions, see the article Enable CoPilot & Add Permissions.

Surveys being sent as part of a scheduled CoPilot outreach are sent through the Oauth User. Sending surveys through this method will require the Oauth user to have Distribute permissions for the Survey.

What Permissions are needed to view survey analytics?

Users will need the Gainsight Standard permission set, as well as the Analyze Survey permission described above in order to analyze survey responses.

Assign Survey Permissions by Group

Sorting Users In Survey Permissions

You are able to group your users based on alphabetical listing by name, role, or profile. This filter allows you to quickly update permissions sets for large groups of users.

Per Survey Level Permissions

Per Survey Level Permissions

Per-survey level permissions are administered by the owner/creator of the surveys and define who has access to a particular survey.

To configure per-survey level permissions, you can either:

  • Navigate to Administration > Surveys > click on "Click here to configure survey permissions" > from the drop down at the top left, choose the survey name.

Or,

  • Navigate to the Survey tab > select your survey > click Permissions as shown in the image above.

The Creator/Owner of a survey can assign the following permissions to other users on a per survey basis:

  • Edit: Users with “Edit” permissions can edit survey configurations such as survey name, survey start date/end date etc of the survey in question.
  • Design: Users with “Design” permissions can add/delete/reorder survey questions, and add/edit logic rules of the survey in question.
  • Publish: Users with “Publish” permissions can publish the survey in question.
  • Distribute: Users with “Distribute” permissions can add/edit recipients for the survey in question.
  • Close/Open: Users with “Close” permissions can close and open the survey in question.
  • Preview: Users with “Preview” permissions can preview the survey in question. Users who have “Design” permissions on a survey will by default also have “Preview” permission for that survey.
  • Analyze: Users with “Analyze” permissions can analyze responses of the survey in question.
  • Delete: Users with “Delete” permissions can delete the survey in question.

Assign Permissions to One or Multiple Users

You can assign survey permissions to a single user or to multiple users belonging to a salesforce role, profile, group, or salesforce roles and subordinates. Perform the following steps to add survey permissions to a user or set of users.
