+There are two kinds of users to the RDMS
-  * users who store their own research data in a structural manner. These researchers order and structure their data themselves to keep overview of their work and data
+  - Users who want to store research data in a structural manner. These researchers order and structure their data themselves to keep overview of their work and data. Metadata may be added to enhance searchability or make it easier to retrieve datasets. They can choose to store their data in home drives, group drives or as a project.
-  * Data managers, data engineers and data stewards. These users organize and set up file structures and file rights for multiple researchers. Maybe add metadata templates to folders to ensure their integrity or add triggers to the folders or files. These users manage data for a project or a research group.
+  - Users who act as data managers, data engineers, or data stewards. These users organize and set up file structures and file rights for multiple researchers. These users manage data for a project or a research group. For this, special privileges are needed which can be granted by [[rdms-support@rug.nl|RDMS support]].
-The first chapters of this wiki is for the researcher who wants to store her data on the RDMS. The first part is about Access to the RDMS via CLI, Web DAV or the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI is described, but we do think the interface is easy to use.
+The chapters on [[rdms:access:start|Access]], [[rdms:data:start|Uploading]] and [[rdms:metadata:start|Metadata]] of this wiki are for the researchers who want to store their data and manage the metadata on the RDMS. If a group environment is needed then the RDMS [[rdms:solution:team|Team Drive]] would be a good option. The chapter on [[rdms:solution:projects|Managing Projects]] of this wiki is for users with roles such as data managers, data stewards, etc.
-The second part of this wiki is for the data managers and data stewards
-==== Advanced Use of the RDMS  ====
-For staff members in the role of data engineer, data engineer or data steward a normal workflow for the datamanagement and the proper use of the RDMS would be:
+In order to optimally use the RDMS, we advise all users to read the [[rdms:bestpractices|Best Practices]] section which is regularly updated.
-  * Add a project and name the project
-  * Add members to the project and assign the rights they need
-  * Set a metadata template on a folder or file
