  Billing

View the Billing Projects you can access by going to the "Billing" section. Here you will find a list of Billing Projects you are associated with and your role (e.g. Owner, User). Billing Project Owners can use this section to see lists of members for all Billing Projects, and to add or remove users on their Billing Projects. To learn more about the level of access for different user roles, please read the article on Access Policy.

 Groups

The "groups" section is where leaders manage team access to data, code, and computational resources. Owner-level users are able to invite and/or grant access for other collaborators. Group owners can use this to assign other users roles of various access levels, allowing group managers to control who is able to view/copy the contents of their workspace, run computations on affiliated account, or edit the content. For more information on the structure of permissions on Terra, please read the article on Access Policy.

The drop down menu allows you to navigate to your workspaces, where you can explore workspaces already available to you. These include workspaces you have created or cloned, or that someone else shared with you. To learn more about what is contained in a workspace, please see the Workspace Overview article. To share or clone a workspace, enter the workspace and click on the button with three dots in the upper right corner, as shown below.

The menu bar lets you navigate through libraries of workflows, showcase workspaces, and data. For more detailed descriptions of resources available in the library, please see the Library Overview article. For more on showcase workspaces, see this article. 

 Free Credits Signup

The free credit program gives newcomers to the platform an opportunity to try it out at no cost. To receive free credits, complete the initial registration, log in, click "sign up for free credits", and accept the Terms and Conditions.

You will then see the free credit billing account in your billing section, with your role as "owner". The free credit program begins once you accept the Terms and Conditions, and will expire either after 60 days or after you have used $300 worth of credit, whichever happens first.

The menu bar also includes the "Contact Us" button, which calls up an integrated form that allows users to submit questions/comments directly.
