Registered users can create projects and wikis. They can collaborate with other registered users and create Synapse teams. Registered users can also download publicly available data and, if they fulfill project-specific Conditions for Use, they can also access controlled data.
Certified User
Certified users have access to full Synapse functionality, including the ability to upload files and tables as well as create folders. To become certified, you must take a short quiz about the Synapse Commons Data Use Procedure. This activity ensures that you understand the rules and policies that govern data sharing on Synapse. The quiz is 15 questions and should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
Validated Users
Registered users can apply to have their user profile validated. A Synapse user with a validated profile is eligible to request access to specific controlled access tier data, including mHealth data.
To validate your profile, you will need to establish your identity by providing a combination of profile information, your ORCID, a signed completed Synapse Pledge, and an external credential. These steps enable greater transparency within the research community, promoting a reciprocal relationship between you and participants as data donors. You will need a validated profile prior to requesting access to Bridge data.
