A project is the primary workspace inside an organization — usually one per study, grant, or effort. It holds your collections, assets, and datasets.

​
The project’s identifier (DID)

Every project has a DID — a citable, cryptographically verifiable identifier that Dataerai mints automatically the moment the project is created. The DID is what you share to refer to the project; it stands in for the project’s internal database ID, which is never shown as the project’s name or reference. Open a project and find the DID row on the Overview of its sidebar. Hover the row to reveal a copy button and a View DID document button, exactly like an asset’s DID. See Verifiable identifiers for how a DID resolves and verifies.

​
Project roles

Within a project, each member has a role: The person who creates a project is its Admin.

​
Manage members

Open a project’s members to add people from your organization and set each one’s role. You can change a member’s role or remove them at any time. For finer-grained control over individual collections, assets, and datasets, use sharing and permissions.
