Users, roles, and permissions
In IRT, job roles and permissions control access to the functions of the application, the tasks you can perform, and the type of subject and drug supply information you can access. As a result, the environment is secure and tailored to the tasks you commonly perform.
- User
A person who uses IRT. A user must be assigned a role to perform tasks with IRT.
- Roles
In a study, groups of people have responsibilities in common. These responsibilities define the user's role—for example, study coordinator, field monitor, principal investigator, or drug supply manager. IRT provides a standard list of common roles for a study, which can be supplemented with custom roles.
- Permissions
In IRT, each role has specific permissions. A permission provides or restricts access to the features of the application. Because a page is designed around particular tasks, assigning a permission to a role determines whether a person who is assigned that role can perform those tasks. The tasks a person can perform in IRT should correspond to that role's job responsibilities for the study.
