Question

How to choose the access role offered by caArray?

Answer

There are two steps involved in the user account creation in caArray:

1. A potential user starts the online request by clicking the "Register" link, completes the steps as shown on the registration form, and submits the form by clicking "Submit Registration Request".
2. The caArray system administrator receives the request form and creates the user account in the CBIIT User Provisioning Tool (UPT) based on the information provided by the user.

The user must select one of the five available roles listed on the form: System Administrator, Principal Investigator, Lab Administrator, Lab Scientist, Biostatistician.

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 [caArray022] [Can I change the ownership of the experiment in caArray?
