Creating a Project and Assigning Roles

XNAT uses the concept of a "Project" to collect data and assign user permissions relative to that data. Any standard project in XNAT can be Machine Learning-enabled. However, user permissions in the project relative to Machine Learning are slightly complex, because of the permissions required to use the Container Service. The following table describes what activities are available for which standard project roles in XNAT.

As of the release of XNAT 1.8 and version 1.0 of the ML Plugins, access to the project machine learning dashboard is restricted to Project Owners and XNAT Admins. This may be addressed in future development.
