The table compares the five roles. In caArray version 2.x and all prior versions, all five roles can own experiments. The only group that has additional privileges is the "System Administrator" group. The "System Administrator" group has the ability to change the ownership for both experiments and groups. (For more detailed information on how to change ownership, see caArray 022 - Can I change the ownership of the experiment in caArray? Can I change the ownership of the experiment in caArray?)
