Project roles

Only Project Managers (level 3, see below) can add/remove users and manage project roles.

There are three project role tiers available:

  • Level 1 - Project Observer - Project Observers have read-only roles. This may be useful in certain situations, e.g., to allow ecologists or researchers outside of your organization who want to view reviewed, validated data for research purposes but don’t necessarily need to edit the data.

  • Level 2 - Project Member - Project Members can help review and edit image Labels and can create Views to help with their review workflow. They cannot edit inference pipelines, edit deployments, or register/release Cameras.

  • Level 3 - Project Manager - Project managers can register and release Cameras to their Projects, configure inference (machine learning) pipelines and Alerts, see all Images that belong to their Projects, and edit Labels. They can also create and edit Views, add Users and manage their permissions, and upload images directly from their computers.

Adding users

To add users to your Project, click the "Manage users" button (person icon) from the left hand side bar and click "Add user". Once you've entered the new user's email address and selected their role, clicking "Add user" again will send them an automated email invitation to them from "no-reply@verificationemail.com" with a temporary password.

If they don't see an email arrive in their inbox shortly there after, be sure to have them check any spam/junk folders and email filtering services they may be using. If you are adding a user with a Nature Conservancy email address (@tnc.org), note that TNC's Postmaster email filtering service often thinks these emails are spam and will place them on hold. To view emails on hold and release them, log into the Mimecast personal portal .

The temporary password will expire in 7 days.

Editing users and project roles

To edit users and project roles, click the "Manage users" button (person icon) from the left hand side bar.

  • To edit a user who has already been added to a project, click the "Edit user roles" button (pencil icon) and update the "Project role" accordingly.

  • To remove a user from a project, click the "Edit user roles" button (pencil icon) and deselect all "Project Roles".

Re-sending users' temporary passwords

When a user is added to a Project, they will be sent an invitation and temporary password via email. If they fail to sign into Animl and reset their temporary password before it expires, Project Manages can re-send new temporary passwords via the "Manage users" popup.
