Server Administrator: Customer Portal
In the Customer Portal pane, you can set the languages and the identification method for the Customer Portal. Customer Portal must already be installed on the memoQ server.
You cannot install, configure, or manage the Customer Portal here. The server's administrator can install the Customer Portal with the Deployment tool, on the server. To manage the Customer Portal, you need memoQWeb.
Configure language pairs, languages, and sign-up methods for Customer Portal.
Requires memoQ project manager: You need the project manager edition of memoQ to manage a memoQ server or a memoQ cloud.
You need to be a project manager or an administrator: You may manage the server only if you are a member of the Project managers or Administrators group on the memoQ server. To change most settings, you must be member of the Administrators group.
How to get here
-
At the very top of the memoQ window - in the Quick Access toolbar -, click the Server Administrator (cogwheel in a cloud) icon. The Server Administrator window opens, with the Connection pane.
Or: On the Project ribbon, click Server Administrator.
- Under Category, click Customer Portal. The Customer Portal pane appears.

When a project manager works on a project sent in by a customer, they must be able to identify the customer. If there is a new contact person for a customer, the project manager must see which company or department they belong to.
In addition, you had better avoid rogue registrations of contact people: You can set up approval for new contacts.
It all happens in memoQWeb: You see the customer's projects and the administrator approves the new contacts in memoQWeb.
To set up identification and approval, click the Signup tab.
- See where a contact person comes from:
- If your organization is a translation company, your customers will be other companies. In this case, a new contact person must specify their company name. Normally, the Customer Portal expects this.
- If your organization is an "enterprise" (any company but not a translation company), your customers will be the departments of the same company. In this case, a new contact person must choose an existing department or team. If your organization is an "enterprise", click New contact can choose an existing department or team radio button.
- Set up approval: Normally, memoQ server automatically approves new contact people. If you need your administrator to approve them, click the New contact users must be approved by a memoQ server administrator radio button.
To save your choices: Click Save.
