Roles workspace—Right descriptions

When you create a role, you choose the scope of the role. A role can have a library, study, or application scope. Each scope has a set of rights that you can grant to the role.

Roles with the library scope become library teams in the Central Designer application.
Roles with the study scope become study teams in the Central Designer application.

Users are granted rights associated with roles in the following manner:

Application roles
A user assigned to an application role is granted all of the rights that are associated with the role, without restrictions. For example, a user who has the right to create users can always create users.

For more information, see Application roles—Right descriptions.
Library roles
A user assigned to a library role is granted the rights associated with the role only in libraries where that user is also a member of the library team. For example, if a user is assigned to the Librarian library role in the Central Designer Administrator application, the user must be a member of the Librarian library team for a library (in the Central Designer application) to work in the library.

For more information, see Library roles—Right descriptions.
Study roles
A user assigned to a study role is granted the rights associated with the role only in studies where the user is also a member of the study team. For example, if a user is assigned to the Rule Creation study role in the Central Designer Administrator application, the user must also be a member of the Rule Creation study team for a study to create rules in the study.

For more information, see Study roles—Right descriptions.

Note: You assign users to roles in the Central Designer Administrator application and to study and library teams in the Central Designer application.
