 ====== Data Management Tab ======
-The more elaborated data management tasks, as well as the management of RDMS Teams and Projects is done from the so-called "Data Management Tab" which can be found on the left-side panel of the web interface.
+To manage your RDMS Groups, Team Drives, or RDMS Projects, select the {{:rdms:webapp:datamanagement.png?direct&25|}} icon in the main menu on the left. This opens the "Data Management" tab, as shown below. If you do not see the data management icon, you do not have the required permissions. Contact [[rdms-support@rug.nl|rdms-support@rug.nl]] to request access.
 {{ :rdms:webapp:rdms_data_management_tab_1.jpg?direct&900 |}}
-**Note:** This tab is just visible if your account has the correct permissions for that. If you do not see the tab, but needed it for your data management tasks, please contact [[rdms-support@rug.nl|RDMS-Support]]
+The "Data Management" tab displays the RDMS Groups, Team Drives, and RDMS Projects that you have permission to manage.
-If you hover over or click on the symbol of the data management tab, the web interface will show you an overview with the RDMS Teams, Projects, and Groups that are available to you.
+You can also view the files and folders stored in Team Drives and RDMS Projects from this tab. However, we recommend using the [[rdms:webapp:databrowser|Data Browser]] to browse and manage files and folders.

 ===== Group Management =====
-While the [[rdms:solution:team|Team Drive]] wiki section already explain the usage of RDMS groups in the context of RDMS Team Drives, the concept of groups can be also used in other storage areas of the system.
+RDMS Groups allow you to manage multiple RDMS users as a single group. You can assign the same permissions to all group members instead of assigning permissions to each user individually.
+For example, you can grant a group access to a folder or share files and folders with a group. For more information, see [[rdms:data:sharing|Sharing Files and Folders]].
-In general, groups are a grouping of RDMS users into one single entity. This can be used to, for example, assign/manage permissions for multiple users at the same time.
+To create an RDMS Group:
-To create a new group in the RDMS, first open the data management tab, then select the {{:rdms:webapp:add.png?nolink&30|}}  button, and choose "New Group" from the context menu that opens.
+  - Open the "Data Management" tab.
+  - Select the {{:rdms:webapp:add.png?nolink&35|}} button.
+  - Select "New Group" from the menu.
-{{ :rdms:webapp:rdms_new_group_1.png?direct&400 |}}

-Specify a group name in the next window and confirm via "Save" to create your new group.
+Enter a valid group name and select "Save". The new group initially contains one member: you.

-Afterwards, it will automatically open the user overview about your group. You will also see the newly created group listed on the left side of the data management tabs under "My groups".
+The Web interface automatically opens the user overview for the new group. Use this overview to verify that the group contains your user account.

+**Note:** If the group is empty, the creation process may have failed. Contact [[rdms-support@rug.nl|rdms-support@rug.nl]] for assistance.
-This view also gives you an overview about all current RDMS users that are member of the selected group.
+You can also verify that the group was created successfully by checking whether it appears under "My groups" in the "Data Management" tab.
