User roles and groups

G-nom users are organized into different roles to control access an editing of data. Additionally, users may join groups at the discretion of group leaders. This allows users to control data i.e. for specific project cooperatively.

Group functionalities

Currently, groups are just a basic feature to organize users. Future additions to G-nom will allow for sub-groups, referred to as "Projects", whose data can be published as assembly collections and associated with relevant publications.
