Make PI owner of dataset

Background

There are four permission privileges available for a dataset on Pennsieve: owner, manager, editor, and viewer. Each of them provides different permissions for making changes to a dataset. These permissions are summarized in the table available here.

When you create a dataset, you have 'owner' permissions on the dataset. As per SPARC rules, the PI of the SPARC award must be made owner of the dataset. This is because only the owner can submit a dataset for publishing and SPARC requires the PI to do so.

How to

1. Select/confirm your Pennsieve account and dataset. If you have not connected your Pennsieve account with SODA yet, see here.
2. Select your SPARC award's PI's name in the drop-down list.
3. Click on ’Make PI owner’ (you will automatically be assigned 'manager' permissions).
