Why no "new survey" option for my user?

Hello Open Foris Arena team! I originally created my Arena account when I was invited by a survey administrator to add data to their survey. I now wish to create a set of my own surveys and act as a survey administrator for those surveys. However, there is no "new survey" option for my user profile. When I look through section 11 of the manual, it looks like being invited to work on a survey grants the same profile as requesting one and indeed, I am not allowed to create a new profile because I am already in the system. But it seems as though I am stuck inside the survey I was originally invited to. Am I just having problems navigating the site or do I need help changing the roles my profile is set up for? Thank you!

Accepted answer

Dear user,
I have granted you the rights to create surveys; you should now see the "New survey" option in your dashboard.
Please note that users invited to collaborate on a specific survey do not automatically receive creation permissions. However, users who request access to Arena via the formal request form are assigned the "Survey Manager" role, allowing them to create up to five surveys.
If anyone else in your team requires these permissions, please let us know via this support forum or by email.
Many thanks,
The Open Foris Team

Thank you, Stefano! I now see the "new survey" option.
