About specimen aliases and permissions
A laboratory that receives a specimen for processing may assign a barcode and use it for specimen identification purposes. In the Cohort Data Model (CDM) schema, these barcode identifiers are tracked as specimen aliases in addition to the primary lab specimen identifier (SPECIMEN_NUMBER/SPECIMEN_VENDOR_NUMBER).
The permissions to see specimen aliases are calculated based on the service provider (lab) that issued the alias and study or patient group that includes the specimen donor (patient or subject).
