edits for clarity, I will focus on this section next in the doc editing!


An Entity is an entry, which can be an Experiment, a Resource or an experiment Template.
There are two main types of records that exist: **Experiments** and **Resources**. They are listed in their corresponding page, accessible from the main top menu.

"There are two main types of entries in eLabFTW: Experiments and Resources. They are listed on separate index pages that are accessible from the main menu bar."

Experiments belong to a user (owner), while Resources are common to the team and can be edited by anyone from the team (with default permissions).
**Resources** correspond to a repository of *things* present in the lab, generally physical things, such as plasmids, equipments, antibodies, chemical products, etc... They have different properties than experiments, although both objects are similar in many aspects. A Resource can be made bookable (so they can be booked in the Scheduler) or procurable (so we can order more of it).

By default, Experiments and Resources are restricted to a team. But users can choose to extend this to all registered users or even anonymous users if enabled by the Sysadmin. An extensive fine-grained permission system is available for both types of records and their corresponding templates to have complete control on who get to read/write what.

  • The first sentence on line 64 is a repeat of line 60 - (I would delete this second one)
    "...both types of entries"
    "....complete control over read and write permissions"

**Experiments** are the main aspect of the ELN: it is where users log their results.
