Rights assigned to roles

A right is the permission to perform a specific activity. A role can have a library, study, or application scope. Each scope has a set of rights that you can grant to the role.

Rights grant access to different parts of the Central Designer and Central Designer Administrator applications. Entire parts of the application are hidden when users do not have the rights to work in those areas.

When a new user is created in the Central Designer application, an administrator with the right to modify user information assigns the user to a role in the library, study, or application scope, providing the user permissions to perform specific activities.

For example, a user can be assigned to the Study Collaboration role, which contains the right to create and assign tasks. The individual Create and assign tasks right is static, but the group of rights assigned to the Study Collaboration role are configurable.
