By default, student, faculty, and staff Qualtrics accounts have certain permission limits in place. QILT can adjust these limits on a case-by-case basis to accommodate academic or organizational needs, ensuring that they don’t hinder your ability to use Qualtrics effectively.

On our Calendly, select “Qualtrics” from the request category drop-down menu to ask questions and receive support related to Qualtrics.

Managing directory roles

Users interested in using the Qualtrics Directory features should reach out to QILT before starting a new directory. Users who start their own directories are not able to manage directory roles, meaning directory contacts will be visible to all users.

Permissions when Collaborating

Your account will not inherit adjusted permissions just by collaborating on projects with other users who have adjusted permissions.

Collaboration scenario:

Your colleague, Alan, has permission limits adjusted for his account. Instead of a 30-question limit, QILT has given him a 50-question limit.
Alan has started a survey project, and invited you to collaborate on it with him within Qualtrics.
You have a Qualtrics account with the default permission limits, which means you have a 30-question limit.
Even though Alan started the project, and is adding you as a collaborator, you will not be able to add questions to the survey after the 30 question limit has been reached. The same applies for question type limits and disabled platform features.
