The Metadata Management Tool (MMT) is a web application allowing metadata authors to create and manage their metadata records using the CMR’s Unified Metadata Model (UMM). The MMT allows metadata authors to create and update CMR metadata records by using a data entry form based on the metadata fields in the CMR Unified Metadata Model (UMM). Metadata authors may also publish, view, delete, and manage CMR metadata records and access to these records using the MMT. 

This page describes how to use the Metadata Management Tool (MMT) to:

• perform functions related to Create/Read/Update/Delete of CMR Metadata Records
• perform functions related to managing permissions and usage of CMR metadata.

Accessing the MMT

URLs for the Metadata Management Tool 

• SIT environment:   https://mmt.sit.earthdata.nasa.gov
• UAT environment:  https://mmt.uat.earthdata.nasa.gov
• PROD environment:  https://mmt.earthdata.nasa.gov

Note: 

• For guidance on the expectations of each environment, see CMR Client Partner User Guide#CMREnvironmentURLs. 
• There are some differences in functionality between MMT 1.0 and MMT 2.0. See MMT Feature Support for more details. 

Provider Context

To use the MMT, you must have a CMR metadata provider context. Ensure that, for each of your providers, your Earthdata Login username for the appropriate environment (SIT, UAT, PROD) is a member of a group (normally the Administrator group for the provider) that has both 'Provider Context' and 'Provider Object ACLs' permissions.  See CMR Data Partner User Guide#ProviderAdministrators for more information.

Login to the MMT

Click on 'Login with Launchpad' and login to the MMT using your Launchpad credentials for the appropriate environment (SIT, UAT, PROD). 

My Providers

On the bottom left-hand navigation, click on your name and then 'My Providers' to see a list of providers that you have access to. 

Logout of the MMT

On the bottom left-hand navigation, click on your name and then 'Logout'.
