User access and sharing

User registration and login provides secure access to the Campaigns and project you upload and that are shared with you.

The User who creates the Project, and Campaigns within it, is the Custodian.
Only the Custodian can upload Campaigns to that Project and share the Campaigns or the entire Project with other Users.
The Custodian should be the person within the institution with a long term interest in the the data and the person who should be contacted if another user wants to use the data (e.g. will more likely be a Principal Investigator than a research assistant).

Projects are typically to organise data within a research group/organisation (e.g. Monitoring of a specific marine park by the NSW Department of Primary Industries).
Sharing a Project with another User allows them to query all Campaigns within it.

Collaborations are designed for ad-hoc sharing of data held within specific Campaigns for syntheses.
The User who created the Collaboration is the Custodian of the Collaboration.
Only the Custodian can share the Collaboration with other Users.
Sharing a Collaboration with another User allows them to query all Campaigns within it.
