Details about the Question

I created a new collaboration group, "Research Fellow", in the UPT, and added a new user to this new group using the UPT. When the new user tried to log in to caArray, the error message appeared: "Your current role does not allow you to view this page...." I have associated the new group with all the available privileges in the UPT. Why can't this user log in?

Answer

The "groups" in the User Provisioning Tool (UPT) are different from "collaboration groups" in caArray. The UPT "groups" refer to predefined groups such as Principal Investigator or Lab Scientist, which determine what roles the user has. (See Roles in caArray on page 105 of caArray User's Guide.) The caArray "collaboration groups" are a way to group multiple users (for example, into an "UPenn collaboration group") and control their access to experiments. The UPT "groups" are managed within UPT, whereas caArray "collaboration groups" are created and managed within the caArray application.

...

When a collaboration group is created, it will show up in the UPT "group" list. That is why if you created a "group" in the UPT, you will not be able to use the same name to create a collaboration group in caArray. You have to delete the "group" created in UPT before you can create the collaboration group in caArray using the same name.
