PAS Spaces

Spaces are “containers” in which data files — MS data files, VCF files, plates and samples, projects, and analyses — can be organized.

Spaces offer an easy way for organizations that manage data for different external clients or internal teams to compartmentalize their work. Data in one Space is entirely segregated from data in another Space. In effect, each Space is a miniature PAS account.

PAS administrators create, manage, and assign users to Spaces. Users assigned to a Space can view, add, edit, and delete its data, even data originally added by other users in the Space. Users can be assigned to more than one Space. Administrators have access to all Spaces.

PAS also has a default Space called General that contains data and data files that are not assigned to a specific Space. All users are assigned to the General Space. The General Space cannot be renamed or deleted.

Users can filter PAS tables to show only items for a specific Space. See Filter a table.
