1 Groups, ownership and sharing in labfolder

     2 ==========================================

     3 As labfolder user you can create groups (ultimately: group projects) and private projects. In *Manage > Projects* you see all projects that you own and that you are a member of.

     4 

     5 Private projects

     6 ----------------

     7 You alone are the owner of these projects in *My Private Projects*. Their ownership cannot be transfered from you to anyone else via the webinterface. Only via directly manipulating the database the ownership can be changed to an active user.

    14 Group projects

    15 --------------

    16 Any labfolder user can create groups and subgroups in *Manage > Groups > Button "+Add"*. Within (sub)groups you can create group projects of which you are the administrator (admin). In the role of the admin you can do the following:

    17 

    18 * invite users to your (sub)group via e-mail

    19 * move users between subgroups

    20 * set and remove (sub)group members as admins

    21 * remove users from a (sub)group e.g. when they are leaving the institute (**In this case the ownership of this user's projects within the (sub)group needs to be transfered first!**)

    22 * delete (sub)groups (before deleting it you need to remove all group members)

    23

    25 Group settings

    26 --------------

    27 Administrators of groups (but not the ones of the subgroups) can edit the general settings of groups.

    33 * Through the option *Prevent group members from deleting content* all users (including the admin) are prevented from deleting projects or any other data from the labfolder database. Projects will merely be hidden if a user decides to *Remove* it from their list of projects.

    34 

    35 * By checking the option *Prevent group members from having private projects*, group members will not be allowed to have private projects. All private projects of group members will be moved into the group projects, but will not be shared with any other group members.

    36 

    37 * By switching on *Users can be members of several subgroups*, users which are already members of a group can be invited again to another subgroup within the group. If switched to off members cannot be invited to subgroups of their current group.
