# Definitions

> Key definitions of the different objects within Rally

## Workspace and User Controls

**Workspace**: Top level of your Rally account that includes all your databases, populations, segments, and lists. Additionally, each workspace contains teams, users, permissions, and all your settings. A workspace can have multiple populations, segments, and lists.

**Team**: A group of users within a workspace. Teams can be used to control access to people data, studies, and assets. A user can be assigned to more than one team.

**User**: An individual who has access to a workspace. Users can be assigned to teams and have permissions to access different parts of the workspace. Users are also granted roles which determine their level of access to the workspace.

## People Organization and Properties

**Database**: Root level of your workspace that includes all your person records. A workspace only has 1 database, and only Admins have access to the full database.

**Population**: Large groups of people withing a database. Access to populations can be granted to the entire workspace or can be configured to only be assigned to specific team(s).

> Populations can enable an **Exclusivity Restriction** setting that allows it to prevent people in that population from being added to any other population, such as only allowing a specific team access to participants in a custom exclusive population. This setting can only be turned on when there are no people in the population.

**Segment**: Dynamic sub groups with a population that are determined by the saved filters on the segment. People are dynamically added or removed from a segment based on the filters.

**List**: Static sub groups with a population that are manually updated by adding participants from existing records, manually creating a new person, or via .csv upload. New participants who sign up for research through sign-up forms are added directly to a list.

<Note>
  People are able to be in multiple Populaations, Segments and Lists at the same
  time. The only expection is whether a person record is within an exclusive
  Population.
</Note>

**Person (or person record)**: An individual unique record, or row, in your database. The person record contains the properties that serve to define an individual in Rally. A person record can have associations (sometimes called memberships) to other data objects in Rally. For example, Bob has an association to Population A which means Bob is a member of that population. Select a person's name to open their Participant Profile.

**Properties**: The fields that define a person record in Rally. Properties can be used to filter and segment people in Rally. Properties can be added to a person record manually or automatically through integrations.

## Study Objects

**Study**: The root object used to organize research activities in Rally. A study can have be one of the following types: Interview, Survey, Unmoderated Test, or Group Interview.

**Participant**: A person who has been invited to participate in a study. Participants can be added to a study from a population, segment, or list. Each participant has a person record in the database. A person can be a participant in multiple studies but each "participant record" is unique to each study.

> Participants include all the properties from the person record, plus any additional properties that are specific to the study. For example, a study may have a property for "Interview Start Date" that is not included in the person record.

**Templates**: A reusable set of components that can be used to create a study. Templates can include the Question Templates, Email Templates, Consent Forms, Documents, Brands, and Custom Incentives.
