Associating users, roles and sites

Each user must be assigned to one or more sites and roles for each study that they will work on. To assign roles to a user you must have already created the roles and created the individual user. An association between a user and a specific role is known as a user role.

Please note that some permissions allow changes to all data in a database and are not restricted to the study/site combination specified in a user’s user role. More information...
