Reader, writer or owner? Workspace access controls, explained
FollowTerra workspaces have three access levels: READER, WRITER, and OWNER. Each access level represents an expanded set of permissions.
READER Access
A READER can:
- Enter the workspace and view its contents
- Clone the workspace
- Copy data and tools (workflows and/or notebooks) from that workspace to one where they have WRITER or OWNER access.
A READER cannot:
- Make changes to the data model (add/delete entities, edit metadata)
- Add/delete tools or tool configurations
- Edit tools or tool configurations
- Launch an analysis (submit a tools or tool configurations for execution)
- Abort submissions
WRITER Access
A WRITER has all the permissions of a READER, and can also:
- Make changes to the data model (add/delete entities, edit metadata)
- Create new collections (sample sets, individual sets, pair sets) from existing non-set entities (samples, participants, pairs)
- Delete/edit entities
- Add/modify entities
- Copy entities from another workspace’s data model into the workspace, provided they have at least READER access to the source workspace
- Upload data entities and their data files directly to workspace
- Add/modify/delete tools or tool configurations, including pushing tools or tool configurations to the workspace from the dockstore (provided they have read access to the tools and tool configurations)
- Push tools or tool configurations from another workspace if they have at least READER access to the source workspace
- Edit tools and tool configurations within the workspace
OWNER Access
An OWNER access has all the permissions of a WRITER, and in addition can:
- Edit the workspace’s Access Control Levels
- Delete a workspace
When you create or clone a workspace, you are automatically the OWNER.
