Login

An account is required to use the 4D-client. Individual user logins are only able to change meta-information which was imported under their account. Administrator logins are allowed to change any information. Unpublished data series can only be accessed by the PI and 'administrator'. Access of individual users or groups to unpublished data sets can be defined with the access right button on the data series level. - To define access to unpublished data click on series. - Select the data series to be defined with a retrieval. - Click on the access right button. - Select the data series in the lower window. - Drag and drop a user or a group on the data series. - The new definition of access rights will be listed in the 'Rights' window. - Press 'Save'. - To define acces rights for a single data series, select the series by double click from the list and press the access rights button on the right side of the ‚Principal investigator‘ window. - Define rights as described above. Data sets should never consist of both, published and unpublished data. User name and password are identical for 4D- and Web-clients.

With the web clients any metainformation and published data can be accessed without a login. Within a project unpublished data should be shared through a common project account.

The login flag is set on the data set level. All data sets having a status of less than published must have the login flag checked. This is set automatically. Only for published data sets you will have the choice of setting the login flag or not, default is not.

A user in the web will get a data set, - if the data set is published and has no login flag set, - if the user has logged in and is the user having imported the data set, - dito and is listed as PI for the requested data set, - dito and has been given access rights to the data set, - dito and user has admin role.
