Data security strategies
Encryption of data at rest:
Server-side encryption uses one of the strongest block ciphers available 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard Standard (AES-256).Encryption of data in transit:
All data between clients and SciNote is also encrypted using the strong HTTPS protocol (TLS 1.2), RSA SSL certificate and strong 256-bit key.Exit strategy

Rights management
During the project phase, research data are extremely sensitive and need to be shared with caution - even within institutions, labs and research groups. Therefore, SciNote supports granular rights management with user roles on the team and project level.
Team level
- Administrator
The creator of a team is automatically assigned the team's Administrator.
The Administrator can manage the team's members and see all its projects. This means the team administrator can easily change the role of the team members or remove them from the team.- Normal User
The Normal User can create, edit, and archive the team's projects, inventory items, protocols, and reports.- Guest
A Guest is only allowed to view the inventories, protocols, reports, and projects they are invited to or that are shared with the entire team.
 | Important: | The roles at the Team level are connected to the roles at the Project level and the first can limit or allow privileges to the latter! |
Project level
- Owner
The Owner has full authority when it comes to managing the people and the data in the projects.- User
The User has very similar rights as the Owner, but he/she cannot manage users. Furthermore, the User cannot archive a project. They can archive an experiment, workflow, task, and result.- Technician
The Technician can manage the inventories and follow the protocol and complete its steps. He/She can also leave comments in a protocol step.- Viewer
A Viewer can only view the project's content.
