Data Security Overview
The User Authorization Tool in NBIA enables NBIA administrators to authorize users access to submitted image data. Administrators create protection group(s) and then assign protection elements to limit access and visibility of the image data. NBIA creates protection elements automatically based on image collection and site(s) of submitted data. Once the protections groups are set up, a user can be assigned to protection group(s) with the associated role(s). With the protection group/role combination, a user can only access the protection group data in the way specified by the role.
For example, user JoanSmith can access NCIA Mouse Astrocytoma as role CURATOR, but JohnJones can only access NCIA Mouse Astrocytoma as role READER.
