Qualtrics - Can we have shared accounts in Qualtrics?
Why can't we use shared accounts instead of personal ones?
Accounts for each user are more secure than a department or group signal account. For security, we use the CAS system to sign into Qualtrics.
Rather than having students create the surveys, perhaps the full-time staff or the researcher should own the survey and collaborate with the students or other personnel. The owner can create the name of the survey and grant the rights to the person to create the rest of the survey.

My collaboration person cannot see the survey that I shared
Check to make sure that you saved the collaboration and that they have an Qualtrics account. Also, check to see if you used email address if the person is outside of NDSU that it shows the full email address below. If it is not full email address then check with that person to make sure that they have rights for collaboration outside of their campus/university/company. Another, thing is to make sure that they have Qualtrics account before you share.
If an NDSU user has a Qualtrics account, you should see #ndstate following their name when you start typing their name. You would have to wait till they have an account to share if you don't see the #ndstate after their name, which means they do not have a Qualtrics account.
Transferring ownership is as simple as sending me an email with the old survey owner name with the survey name and who the new owner name. The new owner will share out the survey to the student(s) again. As soon as I receive the email, I transfer the survey.
Why surveys do not collect any responses even when they are still active?
The first thing to look at is who owns the survey. Is the owner still a student/staff/faculty at NDSU? If the answer is no, you've figured out why the survey stopped operating. When the owner of a survey leaves NDSU, ownership of the survey must be transferred. NDSU deactivates the Qualtrics account on the owner's last day. This problem will not be solved by sharing the survey. There can only be one owner, and it must be a user, not a department.
Steps for locating the survey's owner.
- On the project listing page click on the gear icon
- Check Owner option
If the owner is still at NDSU, double-check the survey's dates to ensure it is still active.
Steps for confirming survey dates have the survey open.
- Click on Survey option icon
- Find Responses tab click on that tab and scroll down until you see Survey availability
How do you transfer a survey to a new owner?
Send an email to Linda Charlton Gunderson stating who the current owner is, the survey name, and who the future owner should be. To transfer the survey, please ensure that the recipient has a Qualtrics account. If you're transferring before the deadline, please mention the date you would prefer the transfer to take place.
