Give access to projects¶
One of the aim of thaliadb is to share project data to a specific set of users. To do so, browse to Admin > Team > link data to projects.
Give access to projects¶
From this interface you will be able to manage user access to projects. First, choose if you want to link or unlink users (1), select one or several projects (2) and one or several users (3).
If you choose to link users to projects, this action will add the selected users to the selected projects. Thus, these users will access to the data of these projects.
If you choose to unlink users from projects, this action will remove the selected users from the selected projects. Thus, these users won’t have access anymore to the data of these projects.
Instead of selecting a list of users in the form, you can upload a list of users (4) in a simple text file and select the projects to link/unlink users.
Another way to give access to project data is to edit the project itself. From the form, in edition mode, you can select/unselect the list of users who can access this project.
Share data in projects¶
Sharing data in projects works the same way than giving users access to projects. Sharing data in projects can be done through multiple objects of thaliadb : GenotypingID, Sample, Seedlot, Accession, Experiment, Referential, Environment, Trait, Classification.
Link data to projects¶
From this interface you will be able to share data in projects. First, choose if you want to share or unshare data (1), select one or several projects (2) and one or several data objects (3).
If you choose to share data to projects, this action will add the selected objects to the selected projects. Thus, these objects will accessible from these projects.
If you choose to unshare data to projects, this action will remove the selected objects from the selected projects. Thus, these objects won’t be accessible anymore from these projects.
Instead of selecting a list of objects in the form, you can upload a list of objects (4) in a simple text file and select the projects to share/unshare data.
Important : when you share objects in a project, raw data will be accessible only if all related objects are shared in the project. For instance :
You want to share phenotyping data in a project. A phenotyping value is related to a Seedlot, a Trait, an Environment.
You carried out a trial with 50 Seedlots, on one site one year, and measured the Plant height
To make your data available in a project you need to share in this project : the 50 Seedlots, the Environment (1 site 1 year) and the Trait ‘Plant height’.
