Access levels
The roles page allows you to request levels of access (read only, read and write, administration) to particular parts of the information system.
| Component | Role name | Access level | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entity registry | Entity registry read only access | READ | Allows read only access to the entity registry - list, view, and download. |
| Entity registry write/read access | WRITE | Allows write level access to the entity registry - all actions except deletion. This enables the registration of records of all types including Datasets (in the Data Store) and Model Runs (in the Provenance Store). |
Below is an image of the Profile page with the access levels shown. To request access to a role, slide the appropriate toggle slider to the right. By default, only standard user roles are shown. If you need to request administrative permissions, use the “Include admin-only roles” slider at the top of the page.
