Data storages describe the storage solution for datasets. A data storage can be accessible with multiple protocols. You must also defined how data is organized in the Data storage.

Dataset fields

You manage permissions through the management tab, where you can assign individual users and groups access levels to a data storage. Data storage have four permission levels: membership (read access), contributors, managers, and owners.

Dataset API access

The API allows for programmable access to Data storage, enabling you to read, edit, and delete data storage through the API. Learn more about the datasets’ fields and data structure on the Dataset API page.
