Group types

Query

Allows any user who is in the same query group as the user who opened a query to change its status (for example, to close it). A user can be a member of only one query group.

Signature

Allows any member of the same signature group to sign forms, if the user has the Sign form right, or to sign case report books if the user has the Sign a Case Book right.

A user can be a member of only one signature group. When it is defined in the database, a form that requires a signature can be associated with zero, one, or more signature groups.

• When a form is associated with one signature group, it must be signed by one member of that signature group to be considered signed.
• When a form is associated with more than one signature group, it must be signed by one member of each signature group to be considered signed.

For example, to ensure that a form is assigned by both a sponsor and a site representative, create a signature group for the sponsor and a signature group for the site, and associate the form with both signature groups. Assign sponsor users who have signature rights to the sponsor signature group, and assign site users who have signature rights to the site signature group.

ManagerUser

Not supported.

ItemGroup

Identifies a list of items appearing on forms for which display override characteristics can be changed through a rights group.

Reporting

Defines the reporting functionality and type of access available to users with reporting rights. Some Reporting groups allow members to access only standard reports; others allow members access to ad hoc reporting.
