Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) | | Spanish term or phrase: alta / baja | I am translating an IT procedures manual and "alta / baja" are used regularly to describe staff members being given access to a system ior part of a system, or having it removed. It generally refers to them being given a username and password with the appropriate access rights.
An example is: "A continuación, si el responsable del DSI (IS Department) autoriza el alta solicitará a los Administradores del Sistema que procedan a dar de alta dicha cuenta utilizando las políticas de nombres de cuenta existentes y cumpliendo con los parámetros solicitados".
This is one of those easy-to-understand but hard-to-translate situations...
I'm interested in both the "alta" and the baja", please.
Many thanks |

| | add / remove | Explanation:
In the second example of "alta" it would normally be "add"
"...a dar de alta dicha cuenta..."
"The system administrators add the account..."

The first example of "alta" in your text could be "application"
"...autoriza el alta solicitará..."
"...authorise the application will request..."
but I'm less sure this is the best translation of that case.

Back to the first example, I think "activation" maybe a better option
"...(IS Department) authorise the activation will request the administrators..."

| Note from asker to answererthanks very much everyone. I used "user set-up" (and setting up users) and "user removal" (and removing users).

If you want to avail yourself of a service, you sign on for it, and later may decide to sign off. This might work for you here - it's the defect translation I go to for these two little words which you quite rightly identify as pesky little ones when it comes to translating them!
