Project Access Control

In VarFish, access to data is organized in Projects. Projects can be grouped into possibly nested Categories and access. Users are assigned Roles in projects and get access to the project’s data through these role assignments.

Projects can either be local or come from a central SODAR site. In the first case, the project owners can change the user in projects through the VarFish site itself. In the second case, user assignment is performed in the central SODAR site.

Project Details

When selecting a project, you are directed to its Details view. Here, you can see its README information, the overview from the further VarFish components, the project timeline, and background jobs.

Note

The overview page will only display the five most recent entries in each category. You can reach the full information using the corresponding buttons in the left navigation bar.

Most importantly use the Cases link to see the full list of cases in a project.

This figure shows the project details of the demo project. On the left, you can see the navigation bar to the different apps active for the project. On the right, you can see the project overview showing up to the five most recent entries only.
