Sharing a project

You can share projects with other users inside and outside your organization, and you can control the access level (e.g., view or edit permissions).

The panel for designating sharing access and access levels can be found from the project page using one of two options:

  • Access tab
  • Edit icon under the Access section on the Project tab right panel


The Access tab provides the following options:

Organization Access

You can designate access at two levels using the respective sections in the panel:

  • Access for all users in the organization

    Select from one of the following access levels to share access to all users in your organization:

    • Restricted: projects will be visible only to you and users granted individual access
    • Shared: projects can be accessed by all users in your organization
  • Organization users with access

    Share a project with specific users by selecting a user from the drop-down menu and the access level you want to provide them.

Access Levels

When selecting to share with either your entire organization or an individual user, you may choose to grant permission using the following access levels.

Access level User can view User can upload data/edit/create/run analyses User can share project
Viewer yes no no
Editor yes yes no
Admin yes yes yes

Note

Once a project is shared with you, it will appear on your projects dashboard where you can see your access level as illustrated below.

External Access

Projects can be shared outside your organization by providing external access. Enter the email address for those you want to invite and click Invite user.

External users will be given View access by default. You can change this to View, Download, and Copy using the drop-down menu.

Note

External access is currently limited to users who already have an IDEAS account!
