Provide access to a specific set of files using a query result. — grant_specific_file

Sets READ/DOWNLOAD permissions for a specific user or team, provided a vector of entity IDs. Generally, we do not set permissions this way, as it can create many, many ACLs/"local sharing settings" which will need to be removed at the time of data publication. However, at the time of writing, one project (JHU Biobank) shares embargoed data but is required to share only specific subsets of the files as needed by the data requestor (e.g. only MPNST tumor data, or only RNA-seq data).

Usage

grant_specific_file_access(
  principal_id,

  create_dataset = F,
  project_id = NULL,
  dataset_name = NULL
)

Arguments

principal_id: Synapse team or user id.
entity_ids: Vector of entity ids.
