Introduction

Projects serve as an overall way to group subjects, datasets, and collections together. A project can be used to relate experiments for publications, as well as to describe day-to-day experiments or sharing experimental data with collaborators. Projects define the overall permissions level of most other content.

Fields

TagsTags for the project. Tags are great for organizational purpose, to quickly label a project and can be used as a filter afterwards.

Permissions

Projects define the overall permissions level for subjects, datasets, collections, and modules. You manage permissions through the management tab, where you can assign individual users and groups access levels to a project. Projects have four permission levels: membership (read access), change permissions, managers, and owners. For more information on permissions, please visit the permissions page.
