Choosing the proper role

Guests
Have the least rights. They will not be able to see the content of your ARC (only the wiki page).

Reporters
Have read access to your ARC. This is recommended for people you ask for consultancy.

Developers
The choice for most people you want to invite to your ARC. Developers have read and write access, but cannot maintain the project on the DataHUB, e.g. inviting others.

Maintainers
Gives the person the same rights as you have (except of removing you from your own project). This is recommended for inviting PIs or group leaders allowing them to add their group members for data upload or analysis to the project as well.

A detailed list of all permissions for the individual roles can be found here

Congratulations!

You have just shared your ARC with a collaborator.

Version control

  • Commit history

Project Management

  • Issues

ARCs come with their own wiki space

  • directly associated to your ARC
  • same access rights as your ARC
  • share meeting minutes or ideas with collaboration partners
  • keep ARC clean of files that are not considered "research data"
