Restrict access to your data

In the Instrument Data Wizard, you can define which users or groups of users have access to your data in the Instrument Data Service.

Instrument Data Service has a cascading access control mechanism which allows you to apply restrictions on which users or groups of users can access a file or a group of files. Permissions granted at a higher level of the hierarchy will cascade down to all the files nested in it unless explicitly overridden.

Users must have an account created in Instrument Data Service in order to access the data.

Exercise: Adding Restrictions on your own data

Think about who needs to be able to access your data. What kind of access should they have? If there’s a subset of the data that should be accessible to more or fewer people, how should they be organised?
