Managing user roles

Roles are required in order to assign the appropriate permissions to registry users according to their tasks, access rights, and location. A list of currently defined roles and the associated registry locations is provided under Users -> Roles. To define a new role click on Add new role; to modify an existing role click on the icon in the Action column.

Configuring user roles from permissions

On the following screen, you have to enter a role name and select the location from the dropdown menu that this role should be linked to. For multicentric studies with several locations it may be recommended to include the location name in the role name, e.g., to create a separate role "Data Entry" for each location.

Below, you can select the permissions for the role by dragging and dropping items from the list on the right to the area on the left. The following permissions are currently available in OSSE: * CreatePatients: Permission to add new patients to your own location * DataEntry: Permission to enter and edit medical data of your own location * See my location's patients: Permission to read data of your own location * See other locations' patients: Permission to read data of any patient, i.e., those of other locations as well * See my IDAT: Permission to see the identifying data of patients of your own location * See all IDAT: Permission to see the identifying data of any patient, i.e., those of other locations as well * DataExport: Permission to export all medical data * DataReport: Permission to change the form status from open to reported * DataValidation: Permission to change the form status from reported to validated * RemoveValidation: Permission to change the form status from validated to open again * PatientAccounts: Permission to handle patient accounts, i.e., to give patients access to their own forms marked as PRO

Location administrators

As registry administrator you can appoint local administrators, who can create users and assign predefined roles at their individual location. Select the users intended for this task and assign the corresponding location administrator roles that are automatically created by the OSSE software.
