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.
Log In to the MMT
URLs for the Metadata Management Tool
SIT environment: https://mmt.sit.earthdata.nasa.gov
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.

Manage Metadata for my provider
Create a collection record in the CMR for my provider
1. On the 'Manage Metadata' dashboard, choose 'New Collection Record', and click on 'Create Record'. A draft collection record will be created.
2. Begin filling in metadata fields for your draft collection record. Use the information icons (blue 'i') to get information about what fields mean and how to format their values.
3. Navigate from form to form using the Previous or Next buttons, or by choosing the next form to edit from the pull-down list at 'Save & Jump To:'. You may work on forms in any order. When you move from one form to another, your input from the previous form will be saved in your draft record.
4. Explicitly Save form input (within a session or at the end of a session) with the 'Save' button; Finish editing your draft record using the 'Done' button.
NOTE: When you are working with a draft collection record, all 'Save' and 'Done' operations update the draft record in the MMT database, not in the CMR, i.e., DRAFT records are not stored in the CMR. Your draft collection record will not be ingested into the CMR until you click on the 'Publish Draft' button in step 7 below.

Manage Groups for my provider
Recommended set-up for a provider:
- Each provider should have an administrator group, whose members will have full privileges for the provider. Normally this group is called 'Administrator Group'. The CMR OPS team will establish this group and its Provider Object Permissions when they set up your provider.
Provider Object Permissions for the Administrator Group are as follows:
2. Each provider may also establish Groups of registered users who will have Search and Order access to specified sets of your collections (this access is granted through Collection Permissions, described in the next section of this User's Guide).
(e.g., instrument team group with access to collections from that instrument)
Create a New User Group

5. Click on Yes to delete the group. The MMT will then display a 'Group successfully deleted.' message, and the group will no longer appear in the table of groups for your provider.
Manage collection and granule permissions for my provider
Recommended set-up for a provider:
- An 'All Collections' permission to be set-up by the OPS team, granting Search and Order permissions for All Collections for the provider to members of one or more 'privileged' groups, e.g., the Administrators group
- An 'All Granules' permission to be set-up by the OPS team, granting Search and Order permissions for All Collections for the provider to members of one or more 'privileged' groups, e.g., the Administrators group
- Permissions for only 'Selected Collections' - to be set up by the provider Administrator, granting search and order permissions for a specified set of provider collections and/or granules to members of a provider group. Common examples are: 1) 'Public Collections' permissions which grant search and order permissions to a set of provider collections and/or granules to All Registered Users; and 2) <instrument> permissions which grant search and order permissions to collections from a specific instrument to a group of instrument scientists.
Define user permissions for a set of collections for my provider
- On the 'Manage CMR' dashboard, under 'Permissions & Groups', click on 'Collection Permissions'
2. On the Collection Permissions page, click on 'Create a Permission'.
3. Name your collection permission (it is recommended to choose a name descriptive of the type of permission and the type of collections to which the permission applies), and select whether the permission applies to collections, granules, or both.
4. Click on the 'Selected Collections' radio button, and assign collections to your permission.
Choose specific collections to which the permission applies, by highlighting collection names on the left side of the collection 'chooser' and clicking on the '+' to add the collection to the permission. You may use the SHIFT key to highlight multiple collections at one time.
To remove a collection from the permission, highlight the collection name on the right side of the chooser, and click on the '-' to remove it. You may highlight more than one collection on the right and click on the trashcan icon to remove all highlighted collections from the permission.
5. OPTIONAL: Further qualify the collections or granules in the permission by specifying only collections with Access Constraint values in their metadata within a specified range. (use the Access Constraints subform on the Data Identification form to enter these values in a collection record using the MMT). Click on the 'Include Undefined' checkbox if you want to also include collections that have no value for Access Constraint.
6. Assign the groups of users who have Search or Search and Order permissions for these collections. (Search and Search and Order permissions apply when a user uses a client like Earthdata Search Client to search for a collection record and to order granules from that collection.) When you position your cursor in the Search box or in the Search and Order box, you will see a pull-down list of existing groups for your provider. The list will also include two standard 'system' groups: All Guest Users, and All Registered Users. (Registered Users are users who have an Earthdata Login account). If you choose a group for Search, that group will not be available to choose for Search and Order, and vice versa. Click on a group name to select that group for Search or Search and Order. You may select multiple groups for each.
NOTE: One use case here is to allow All Registered Users or All Guest Users to search for and order granules in Version n+1 collections, but not allow those users to search for and order granules in Version n collections. To do this, create a Collection Permission with Selected Collections, choose only your Version n+1 collections, and choose the All Guest Users or All Registered Users group appropriately. Make sure that there is no permission that grants access to Version n collections to All Guest Users / All Registered Users.
7. Click Submit to create your collection permission.
8. You will see a green banner indicating that your collection permission was created successfully, and you will also see a display page for your collection permission.
