About: Chorus and People - NEW

How are people organized in Chorus?

There are three levels of account-holders in Chorus:

1. Site admins
2. Users
3. External users

All Chorus account-holders receive a desk of tools and their own unique home space.

Site admins

Site admins are users who have been assigned the duty of administrating the site.

• Site admins have access to Admin tools that are hidden to other users. 
• They must sign in, or 'elevate', to access these tools. 
• There can be one or many site admins in a Chorus site.

Site admins have global powers in a Chorus site.

They can:

• Create, administrate, and delete all spaces.
• Create, administrate, and delete all users. 
• View, upload, edit, download, share, and publish any file in any space. 
• Create and edit site-level metadata catalogs.
• Create and edit site-level download catalogs.
• Impersonate all other users and access the home space of any user.

For more about site admins, see D1. Understand site admin responsibilities.

Users:

• Every Chorus user has a user name, user profile, and home space. 
• Every Chorus user is granted a personal storage allowance in their home space.*
• A user's home space is located in their primary space.
  
  

About external users: 

• External users are temporary users created for ad-hoc work in a specific Chorus space. 
• External users have no storage allowance in their home space. 
• External users cannot view, edit, upload, download, share, or publish files unless invited to do so in a specific Chorus space or folder.
• External users cannot delete any item from a Chorus site.*
