- User data is any data that an end-user of a particular system creates or owns. With regard to its ownership, the data may have several levels.
- For instance, you have created your username at CNM Cabin, but cannot change it. You can possibly open a new user account and pick up a new username, but your current account will keep the same username for its life being. This feature can be changed only if the system's code is re-written or system's settings are changed.
- At the same time, you have created your password and own that -- you can change it at any time through CNM Cabin. Similarly, you can manage your profile and preferences there.
- The overwhelming majority of your data such as your exam scores or wikipage edits are collected automatically, through the algorithms that systems administrators manage. While using CNMCyber, you create that data, but may or may not be able to change it. By default, the data is timestamped is harder or impossible to change. However, a new action like a new wikipage edit can undo or reverse the previous action.
- On the other end, the system administrators can alternate your access permissions at any time. They may also change some, but not all of that data. For instance, the course teacher may override some of your exam scores, but cannot alternate your exam answers.
- At CNM Wiki, product epics indicate who can manage the user data, what data can be managed, how it can be managed, and what data must be secured.
