Frequently Asked Questions

What does "public" permissions mean on my user account?

Any user that registers to use the COWRIE Data Management system automatically gains "public" user permissions and the ability to download "public" downloadable data. When data is uploaded to the system a permission is set to the data, reports and projects. In the majority of cases this will be "public". There is no charge to use the COWRIE Data Management system or to download any "public" data.
