You can control who has access your Synapse data in two ways. First, you determine who can access content by using sharing settings. Sharing settings are the list of people or teams One of the ways that Synapse governance supports responsible data sharing is through data access types. While /wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2007072795 are applied to the user, data access types are applied to the data itself. The parameters of data access for any dataset is defined by contributors of that data.
Data access can be controlled in two layers: sharing settings and conditions for use.
Sharing settings enable you to list the individuals or teams who can view your project, and the permissions those groups have with respect to a specific dataset. You can use sharing settings to control authorize who can view, edit, download, or delete data.
In addition to sharing settings, the second way to control who can access your data is by applying Conditions for Use. These restrictions define how users You can add an additional layer of data protection by applying conditions for use. These restrictions define how users who have permission to download your data may use it. Conditions for Use use may include citation requirements, IRB approval , or other restrictions defined by that you define as the data contributor.
To learn more about these features in Synapse, visit the Sharing When both sharing settings and Conditions conditions for use pages.
Data tiers
The combination of are applied, then users must qualify for data access through both of these restrictions.
For information on sharing settings and Conditions for Use determine who can access information in Synapse. For example, you can specify users who have permission to download a data file (as set by sharing settings), and you can also require that the file can only be used if certain Conditions of Use are met.
All content in Synapse has sharing settings, but not all content has Conditions for Use. Generally, data in Synapse can be categorized in four tiers:

There are four data access types in Synapse:
Private Access Data
Data set to private access is visible only to you and other users whom you select in sharing settings.
...
Controlled data: (also called controlled access data, or controlled use data) available to registered users that fulfill specific requirements for data access, such as submitting an Intended Data Use statement, obtaining IRB approval, or other prerequisites.
...
Open data: (also called open access data, or open use data) available for all registered Synapse users without Conditions for Use.
...
Public data: available for anyone on the web without conditions for use.
Private data
By default, It is not viewable to any other Synapse users. This is the default setting when you create a new Project project in Synapse, the sharing settings are set to private and any data that you add will only be visible to you. Private data also includes data that you share only with individual Synapse users through sharing settings, but it is not widely shared.
Controlled data
Controlled data is meant to be shared, however it contains sensitive information that could potentially harm individuals or groups if misused. Therefore, controlled data has additional protections for how it can be used, and these conditions are defined by the data contributor. Controlled .
Controlled Access Data
Data set to controlled access can be available to registered, certified, and validated users that fulfil specific requirements for data access through conditions of use that you set.
Controlled access data typically represents human data that contains sensitive information. Misuse of this data could potentially cause harm to those individuals or group. Therefore, data contributors can define conditions for use to specify how the data can be used by those who have access to it. Controlled access data can only be downloaded and used by those authorized Synapse users, and it is not transferable unless explicitly specified otherwise. In other words, you cannot share controlled data freely with other collaborators; each to do so, and this data may never be redistributed. Any Synapse user wishing to use controlled access controlled data must individually agree to the Conditions for Use to access that data. To learn more about conditions for use and how to apply them to your data, see Conditions for use.

request access.
Examples of controlled access data include one or more of the following:
Data with minimal risks at risk of re-identifying research participants
Genetic sequence or genotype data from living individuals
Data from “vulnerable” populations as defined using OHRP guidelines
Data generated with restrictions or requirements for use as outlined in informed consents or legal agreements
Open data
Unlike controlled data, open data does not require To learn more about conditions for use and how to apply them to your data, see Conditions for Use. Open data is subject to general terms and conditions, and data users must have a registered Synapse account to download it. Typically, open
Open Access Data
Data set to open access is available to all registered Synapse users, without additional use limitations.
Typically, open access data include:
Data from model organisms, species, or strains
Non-biological data, like data used for the calibration of instruments
Human data that are:
Publicly available elsewhere
De-identified and non-sensitive, with no known sharing or use restrictions
Self-contributed and unambiguously consented for open data sharing and use
Public data

Anonymous Access Data
Data set to anonymous access is available for anyone (even anonymous, non-registered users)
Anonymous access data could be:
Downloadable wiki content, such as newsletters or announcements of data releases
Metadata about a file or dataset
Data available under a public domain
