Policies Tab

This tab allows Project Owners to choose who may request access to their project or whether or not their project is visible at all to users who are not project members.

The Project Equalization section enables Project Owners to level all members' access to data so that data appears the same to all project members, regardless of their individual attributes or groups.

The Subscribers section allows Project Owners to make their project open to anyone, to users who request and are granted access, to users with specified groups and attributes, or only to users the Project Owners manually add.

Discussions Tab

Project members can view, create, reply to, delete, and resolve discussion threads in this tab.

Data Sources Tab

A list of data sources within the project appears in this tab. Project members can view, comment on, and add data sources to the project here as well. Any project member can add data sources to the project, unless the Allow Masked Joins or Project Equalization features are enabled; in those instances, only Project Owners can add data sources to the project.
