Share your ARC via the DataHUB

// import ArcitectSync from “@kb/arcitect-gx/start-here/sync.mdx”

Now I have created my local ARC, but how can I share it with my colleagues?

ARCs are the basis of the collaborative research platform and can be seamlessly shared between researchers by using the PLANTDataHUB.

Explore your ARC in the PLANTDataHUB

PLANTDataHUB

1. Sign in to the PLANTDataHUB
2. Navigate to your ARC.
3. Browse the files of your ARC.
4. The main panel of the ARC menu mimics the local folder structure

DataHUB Roles

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.

Note

If you are interested in details about permissions and roles have a look here.

Note

By default you are the Owner of an ARC you create or upload to the DataHUB.
