User groups

• A “Group” is a group of users (then called “members” of that group) with specific permissions.
• A group (e.g. your lab or consortium) can share ARCs.
• Groups help you communicate with all group members and manage permissions for the ARCs shared in that group.
• Depending on their assigned roles, members of the group can view, edit, delete, and / or maintain the ARCs of that group.
• If someone has access to a group, they get access to all the ARC in the group.
• The group Owner(s) can adjust group settings and manage group memberships.
• Groups can have subgroups (with a subset of members). Subgroups have the same features as groups.

Note

“Projects” and “Groups” are not the same

Groups panel

Section titled Groups panel

The groups panel lists all user groups.

1. Choose a tab (1) to see your groups, or explore public groups (2)
2. You can create a New group in the top-right corner (3).

Creating a new group

Section titled Creating a new group

You can create a new group from the groups panel.

1. choose a suitable name (1),
2. adapt the url if needed (2),
3. set the visibility level (3), and
4. invite members with a specified role and permission (4).

Tip

When syncing an ARC shared with a group, the group’s url rather than your user url is used to generate the ARC’s address.

Tip

Within ARCitect, you can directly choose your group namespace to sync your ARC with the group.
