You can complete your certification by taking a short certification quiz on Synapse.
Creating a Project
Synapse projects Projects are the main “containers” where information is stored and organized in Synapse. They are online workspaces where you can collaborate and share your work with teammates. Projects can be shared with individuals, small teams, or large consortia. Projects can be private so only you and your team can see what’s inside, or they can be shared publicly for anyone to browse.

Below the project name, the Synapse ID for this project is visible. The Synapse ID is (synID) is a unique number used as a reference in Synapseto reference this project, and it is a powerful tool to identify and manage content. Often abbreviated to “synID”, these identifiers are assigned to many things in Synapse; projects, Projects, folders, files, tables, views, and wikis all have unique synIDs that can be used to navigate to and reference these specific items. The synID never changes and is always accessible in the URL and visible on the web. If you use one of the programmatic clients to interact with Synapse, you can use synIDs to create scripts that will work universally for anyone and without the need for specifying file paths.

Groups of users can form Synapse teams for collaboration. Teams can be used for managing permissions and for communicating with your collaborators. Sharing something with a single team instead of many individual users can help administrators manage large, complex projects.

Anything inside your project will automatically inherit the same sharing settings as the project itself. In other words, if your project is public, then all of the contents within the project will also be public. If needed, you can change these settings so that certain files or folders are only shared with specific groups of users. For more details, read about Sharing settings and /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2030502408.
