Users can upload files related to the object, like sketches or notes generated by measuring software. As SampleDB only serves as a database for metadata, storage is limited and this function is not for uploading large datasets or measurement results. For those, a user could leave a Comment containing the files’ path on an archival storage system, for example. At this time, files can either be uploaded directly from the browser or from a smartphone.

To do this, scroll down in the object ID until the “Upload File” field appears.

Three permission levels control what users can do with objects in SampleDB:

1. READ allows viewing objects and their metadata, files, comments, etc.
2. WRITE allows editing object metadata, adding files, posting comments, etc.
3. GRANT allows granting permissions to other users or groups.

Each of these includes the previous one, with WRITE permissions including READ permissions and GRANT permissions including WRITE (and therefore also READ) permissions.

If you have GRANT permissions for an object, you can click the Edit permissions button on that object’s page to edit the object’s permissions. You can then control the permissions for users and groups

Object Permissions

Special groups such as administrators and instrument scientists (for objects created with an instrument) automatically have GRANT permissions. You can also grant READ permissions to all signed-in users and, if enabled by the administrator, to anonymous users

When creating an object, default permissions configured in your preferences will be applied, unless you choose to grant permissions to a specific group or to copy permissions from another object.

Default Permissions in the User Preferences

2. Each level of permissions includes the one before.
3. Permissions can be granted directly to users or groups.
4. Special groups such as instrument scientists and administrators automatically have permissions.
