Users and Clients

The Users and Clients configuration screen allows for viewing and managing users and clients.

•

Users are the individuals who have access to the BaseSpace Clarity LIMS interface. Because each step in the LIMS is associated with a user, you can make use of user profiles to track the work moving through your lab. While users are associated with the steps they perform as part of a project, they are not directly associated with that project—unless they are assigned as the project client.

•

Clients are directly associated with projects in the LIMS. When you create a project, you must associate it with a client. Clients differ from users in that they are not able to log in and access the LIMS web interface. They are typically external collaborators or customers who submit samples to the lab.
