Access to CAVATICA datasets

Levels of access to datasets

Read

All CAVATICA users have Read permission for all datasets by default. This level of permission allows you to see the list of available datasets on the left hand side menu. When selecting a dataset, Read permission allows you to see the description of the dataset along with the list of the files it contains and associated metadata. This level of access does not allow you to copy files to any of your projects.

Copy

You need to have been granted access to the files within a dataset in order to use its associated files in an analysis on CAVATICA. Once you have been granted access to a dataset, next to the dataset name indicates your Copy level of access.

Admin

Apart from being able to copy files from a dataset, an Admin also manages access to that dataset. If you are an Admin for a dataset, it will be labelled in your list.

Requesting access

You can request access to a CAVATICA dataset by clicking Send access request at the bottom of the dataset members panel. Make sure you provide your contact details and any other information required, according to the dataset description. Once your request is approved by an Admin, you can start using the files from that dataset.
