Guide to establishing a lab, setting up operational rules, granting member permissions, managing partnerships, and configuring a professional research environment.
Start by creating a workspace or joining an existing research group.
On the Labs page, select "Create New Lab". Fill in the Vietnamese Name, English Name, Location, and phone number. Pay special attention to "Visibility": choose Private, Internal (Org-only), or Public.
Search for a Lab on the system or ask the Lab Admin to send an invitation via "Add Member". Once approved, you will see the Lab in your Dashboard.
Each member in the Lab is assigned a role with strictly defined permissions:
Admin / Lab Owner: Full access to edit settings, approve new members, delete resources, and grant permissions to others.
Deputy: Manages most activities such as booking, approving resources, but cannot change core system configurations or delete the Lab.
Member: Use equipment, post resources, request bookings, and participate in projects (often requires Admin approval depending on configs).
Technician: Specializes in managing and ensuring equipment works well, can lock/unlock equipment for maintenance.
Guest: Read-only or very limited access, usually used for short-term interns.
Lab administrators can deeply configure via the 'Settings' tab.
Toggle whether Member resource additions require approval (Products, Consumables, Equipment).
Create links with other Labs (Partnerships) to share internal equipment or offer free bookings. Admins of both labs must mutually approve.
Disbanding a Lab is a highly sensitive action. The administrator must enter a password in the Step-Up Auth phase, and the Lab must have no active projects.
