 XNAT organizes data by Project. Each Project has private control of its data and a user must be granted access to a Project to view or edit data. XNAT organizes data by Project. Each Project has private control of its data and a user must be granted access to a Project to view or edit data.
  
 +==== User Roles and Permissions ====
 +
 +XNAT users can have different permissions within a Project:
 +
 +**Project Owners**: If you define additional project owners, they will have all of the permissions on your project that you do. They can read, insert, modify, and delete anything (and everything) associated with your project. They can also add additional users to your project and modify the data types associated with your project.
 +
 +**Project Members**: Members have the ability to manage the data in your project. They can read, insert, and modify subjects and experiments in your project. They cannot modify the project users and data types.
 +
 +**Project Collaborators**: Collaborators have read-only access on all of the data in your project. They cannot insert or modify data owned by your project. They can download your data and use it within their projects.
