The ARC comes with a mechanism to track changes. This version control is based on git. Briefly, snapshots of an ARC are called Commits. Every Commit is encoded with the information on who made the change and when and it is accompanied with a note, i.e. a “Commit message” that allows the user to communicate what was changed.
The commit menu allows you to “commit” your changes locally. This saves the changes of your local ARC together with your DataHUB credentials (Name and eMail).
ARCitect
Navigate to the Commit menu.
Since you are logged in, the Name and eMail of your DataHUB account are automatically added.
When inviting new members to an ARC or group, you can choose between different roles.
Guest – Has the least rights. They will not be able to see the content of an ARC (only the wiki page).
Reporter – Has read access to your ARC. This is recommended for people you ask for consultancy.
Developer – 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. invite new members.
Maintainer – Has read and write access and can add or remove members, except for yourself. This is the minimum role recommended for inviting group leaders as it allows them to add their group members for data upload or analysis to the project.
Owner – An owner has basically all rights to the ARC. They can delete or transfer the ARC and manage user memberships.
I will invite my PI Prof. Jasmine Beetroot as Maintainer and my collaboration partner Oliver Sage as Developer.
