Appendix regarding the Preferences User Roles

User Roles

There are many views (also known as panes) available through the Databrowser that provide access to a wealth of functionality. However, users can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the large number of available options when accessing resources within their Pod.

To improve the user experience, not to mention the onboarding process for new users, the Databrowser views that are displayed for a particular resource are based on the user's selected role(s). By default, all users can view all of the standard social views. Selecting one or more optional advanced role(s) (see Roles) enables more advanced views:

  • Developer -- View Data, N3, and RDF views of the data.
  • Power User -- View additional Databrowser views such as Note Pad and Meeting.

Notes:

  • An exception may be made to the views displayed for a given resource if it makes sharing resources easier.
  • Your selected role(s) are be stored in your settings which are private by default.

Below is a table that documents the existing Databrowser views and the user types that are associated with them.
