Managing Study Access

caIntegrator provides role based security which can be used to limit access to studies based on user-assigned roles.

User groups are created in UPT by a UPT Admin. For more information, see [Creating a New User Group|7 - Administering User Accounts#CreatingaNewUserGroup.

• Study Manager--A user with this role has permission to configure, deploy and update a study within caIntegrator. This user knows which data should be included in the study and can determine which users should be given access to data within the study.

• Study Investigator--A user with this role has permission to query and analyze a study after it has been deployed. This user cannot update a study and can only see data that has been authorized by the study manager.

• UPT Admin--this user has administrative privileges in UPT for creating and deleting user groups.

Study access is managed on the Edit Study page. When you click Manage Studies on the left sidebar, caIntegrator lists the studies that have been created and/or deployed on the Manage Studies page. Click a study to open the Edit Studies page.

At the bottom of the study page, the Authorize User Groups feature displays. This section is empty when the study is first configured.

To configure access to a study, follow these steps.

1. Click Authorize Addition Group. The Authorize Addition User Groups page opens, listing all user groups that have been created by name and description.
2. Select one group you want to have access to the study and click *Authorize This Group". caIntegrator returns to the Edit Study page, showing the user group authorized with access to this study.
3. You can authorize additional groups, edit the authorization or delete it by selecting either of the buttons under Authorized User Groups on the Edit Study page.
4. Select Save at the bottom of the Edit Study page to confirm the group you have authorized for study access.

Once the authorization is assigned, study investigators in the user group can query and analyze clinical and genomic data or annotation data for the subjects/patients (studies) to which they have been granted access.

Managing Platforms

caIntegrator supports a limited number of array platforms, all of which originate from Agilent or Affymetrix. While they do not represent all of the platforms supported by caArray, caIntegrator must have array definitions loaded for the platforms it supports, and be able to properly load the data from caArray and parse it. For more information, see B - Platforms Supported by caIntegrator.
