Curator permissions
A user assigned the Curator user role can log in and use the Curation menu to review protocols, samples, and publications for public access and generate data metrics for samples in batch mode.
When you click the Curation menu, the Manage Curation page appears with the following options.
Reviewing Data Pending Release
If a user is not a curator and wants a protocol, sample, or publication that they own to be publicly-accessible, the user must submit it to a data curator for review. A data curator reviews the item, and when satisfied, changes it to Public access.

- On the Manage Curation page, click Review Data Pending Release to Public.
The Data Pending Review page that opens displays the list of data to be reviewed. - Click the Edit link to open a data detail page where you can update a sample.
After reviewing the submitted data, you can assign the data to be Public. - Click Add associated with the Access and the Access Information panel opens.
- In the Access Information panel, select the Public radio button and click Save.
- The item is now publicly-accessible from the caNanoLab public home page.
