Groups
Groups are entities that associate users with datasets. If a user wishes to access a certain dataset, he has to belong to a group containing that dataset. Users and datasets can be in multiple groups simultaneously. The easiest way to add multiple users and datasets to a group is through the groups table view.
When a new user or dataset is created, they are automatically assigned to groups with their corresponding names.
Example of newly added user
Special Groups
Admin
Users assigned to the admin group, have all permissions. Only admin users can view or interact with other users, groups or datasets.
Anonymous
anonymous@seqpipe.org is a group that all unregistered users belong to. They lack permissions for accessing most of the datasets. Inaccessible datasets are shown in grey color.
Example of a dataset accessible to all users
Any user
Certain datasets are visible to every registered user. They belong to the any_user group which is automatically assigned to every account and cannot be removed.
Any dataset
any_dataset is a group that contains all of the available datasets. Admins are usually subscribed to this group.
Creating group
In the Groups tab on the Management menu, above groups management table click on Create group.
Type the new group name and press create.
To finish group creation you need to add at least one user or one dataset to the group, because empty groups cannot exist.
Adding users and dataset to group
Find the group you want to edit then add users and datasets through the Add buttons in users and datasets columns.
Dataset access
In the Datasets tab on the Management menu, admins can observe information about which users have access to a dataset or which groups does a dataset belong to. The easiest way to add a dataset to multiple groups is through the Datasets table view.
Adding group to a dataset
