2 Access to the VRE is controlled by project-based and role-based permissions. The combination of Project and user role defines which data and resources a user can access in the VRE. The VRE Platform Administrator creates the first Project Administrator user account; this user becomes the first member of a Project. Thereafter, the Project Administrator can [[invite>>doc:Main.user_guide.Managing User Accounts.Adding a Project Member]] or remove members of their research team to their Project. Note that the roles below are independent of the GDPR roles "controller" (determines the purposes and means of processing personal data) and "processor" (processes personal data only on behalf of the controller).

32 The **Project Administrator** is the Principal Investigator (or their delegate) who has overall responsibility under GDPR as the Data Controller for the Research Project. They are responsible for all Project data stored in the VRE. They have the authority to invite other research members to the Project and assign their member roles within their project. Project Administrators can access all data related to their project, can register [[pseudonymization pipelines>>doc:Main.user_guide.Managing Data.File Properties.WebHome]], view [[activity logs>>doc:Main.user_guide.Managing Data.File Search.WebHome]] for all Project Files and Members, manage [[Project settings>>doc:Main.user_guide.Managing Projects.Project Settings.WebHome]] and manage users for their Project. A project may have more than one individual person assigned to the role of Project Administrator. This ensures role redundancy in case of absence.
