- q: Can I grant edit and/or publish permissions to another person for my dataset?
80-
a: 'Yes. Most repositories allow you to change view, edit, and publish permissions to your co-authors and reviewers for each dataset you submit using their [ORCiD ID](https://orcid.org/). Those repositories that do not allow authors to change dataset permissions themselves generally have a data curation team that can. To add someone as an editor to your dataset, look for the "Share" button at the top of the file list in the metadata editor (labeled **1**) and for individual files (labeled **2**): ![Image with an arrow from the label 1 to the top Share button (for the entire dataset) and the label 2 with an arrow to the share button for one of the dataset files](uploads/d1-sharingtable.png)

- q: What are DataONE's access controls and what do they mean?
80+
a: 'Access control refers to the level of permissions a certain user has over an object. Individual and group access to objects in DataONE is controlled by a three-tiered permissions system consisting of viewers, editors, and owners. Viewers can see but not edit datasets, editors can view and edit but not share, and owners can do all of that plus grant access to others (and sometimes publish, depending on the repository). Repository rules sometimes limit dataset owners to only be able to edit datasets, and reserve sharing and/or publishing rights of datasets to a group of super-users such as a curation team.'

The resulting dialog box will then allow you to add viewers, editors, and owners using a search function (by ORCiD ID, name, email, or the name of a group of users): ![Image showing a search by ORCiD number in the access control dialog box](uploads/d1-sharingpermissions.png)'
