Project Access

Projects can have their own access controls, separate from organization-level permissions.

Project Roles

  • Project Admin - Full control of the project
  • Editor - Create, edit, and delete datasets within the project
  • Viewer - Read-only access to project datasets

Setting Project Access

  1. Open the project
  2. Go to Settings → Access
  3. Add members or change roles
  4. Changes take effect immediately

Dataset Sharing

Create a shareable link to a dataset:
  1. Open the dataset
  2. Click Share
  3. Choose access level:
    • View only - Recipients can see data but not edit
    • Can edit - Recipients can modify data
  4. Copy and share the link
Anyone with the link can access the dataset at the specified permission level. Use with caution for sensitive data.

Public Datasets

Make a dataset publicly accessible:
  1. Open dataset Settings
  2. Enable Public Access
  3. Choose whether to allow:
    • Viewing
    • Downloading (CSV/Excel export)
    • API access
Public datasets are accessible without authentication but can be made undiscoverable (only accessible with direct link).

Best Practices

Name datasets and projects clearly so teammates can find what they need.
Use descriptive operation names explaining why each transformation was applied.
Group related datasets in projects and manage access at the project level for easier administration.
Always review dataset contents before creating public links or sharing outside your organization.
