Manage a Lab Space
Please see Verified Laboratories: The Lab Space for an overview of Lab User Roles and their associated authorizations. Only users within the Lab Space assigned the role of Laboratory PI or Laboratory Manager are able to manage Lab User Roles.
The Laboratory Manager shares many of the same authorizations as the PI, including releasing data to the Community Space and initiating the DOI request process to publish data to the Public Space. Promoting users to this level should be done with care.
