Make a project, collection, or asset readable by any signed-in user with the link — public access is always read-only.
You can make an object public so that any signed-in Dataerai user can view it with the link, without needing an explicit invitation. This is useful for sharing across your institution, open research outputs, and circulating data alongside a paper.
Public access opens an object to any signed-in user who has the link — viewers still need a Dataerai account, but you don’t have to grant them access one by one. It is not anonymous, no-account access. To put data on the open web for anyone to cite without signing in, publish its DID instead.
Public access grants Read only — viewing metadata, content, and notes. Public viewers can never edit, share, or change anything. Write, sharing, and other privileged actions are reserved for people and groups you grant access to explicitly.
Enable public access from the object’s permissions. You can combine it with grants to specific people and groups — for example, a dataset that’s publicly readable but editable only by your team.

Make it publicly available
Toggle Make publicly available at the top of the dialog. The toggle’s subtitle confirms the reach: Any signed-in user with the link can view.
Toggle 'Make publicly available' at the top of an object's permissions to grant read-only public access.
Public means any signed-in user with the link can view the content. Before making something public, make sure it contains nothing sensitive — and remember that restricted fields in a dataset stay protected unless separately granted.
