User Access - Read Only Access

For Sharkbook.ai, after speaking to a number of other shark scientists including Simon Pierce and Christine Dudgeon, we would like to request for a type of user access that is read only - so that we can get interns to review encounters without editing.

I believe this can be achieved by creating a new user but not giving them any roles. Let me do some testing and get back to you on this.

Thanks for your patience!

After testing for a bit, a user without roles can:

  • submit encounters
  • use the search feature
  • access some data integrity tools

a user without roles can’t:

  • send collaboration requests
  • start a match
  • view match results
  • edit encounters they’ve uploaded (including deleting the encounter or adding a new photo to an existing encounter)
  • export search results
  • create projects
  • view sightings (even ones they uploaded)
  • submit or view bulk imports
  • view Grid Administration
