Editing User Group Authorization

Tip
titleTiming of user group authorization

Some users report that the functionality of managing user group authorization works best if done POST-DEPLOYMENT of the study. If done prior to deployment, there were issues with the consistency of performance.

 

To edit authorized user groups, follow these steps:

  1. Go to any study > Authorized User Groups > Activate Group Authorization.
  2. On the Authorize Additional User Groups page, authorize one or more groups.When you finish, caIntegrator returns you to the Edit Study page and a new Edit Authorization button becomes available.
  3. If you select the Edit Authorization button, you are redirected to the Edit User Group Authorization page (example shown below) where you can manage the authorization group permissions to see or not see a particular part of the study. You can specify the data the group named in the dialog can see, or you can specify other restrictions the screen displays by checking or unchecking corresponding boxes.
