  • ProjectAdmin group receives an administrative permission to do all project level operations and to create resources within the new project. This administrative permission is retrievable through its IRI: http://rdfh.ch/permissions/[projectShortcode]/defaultApForAdmin

  • ProjectAdmin group also gets a default object access permission to change rights (which includes delete, modify, view, and restricted view permissions) of any entity that belongs to the project. This default object access permission is retrievable through its IRI: http://rdfh.ch/permissions/[projectShortcode]/defaultDoapForAdmin

  • ProjectMember group receives an administrative permission to create resources within the new project. This administrative permission is retrievable through its IRI: http://rdfh.ch/permissions/[projectShortcode]/defaultApForMember

  • ProjectMember group also gets a default object access permission to modify (which includes view and restricted view permissions) of any entity that belongs to the project. This default object access permission is retrievable through its IRI: http://rdfh.ch/permissions/[projectShortcode]/defaultDoapForMember
