+ 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.'
