Data Access

Access to the data

To get access to the data, you have to take several hurdles. In DiversityGazetteers you must be a member of one of the usergroups. You have only access to those data, that are listed in the projects you have access to.

User groups

A user can be in 3 groups with diverse rights in the database where certain higher groups have all rights of lower groups in addition to special rights for this group, e.g. the group DiversityWorkbenchUser can only read the data of certain tables while DiversityWorkbenchEditor has the rights of DiversityWorkbenchUser and additionally can edit the data in certain tables - see overview below.
