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

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

On the form, one may notice that the user must select one of the 5 available roles: System Administrator, Principal Investigator, Lab Administrator, Lab Scientist, Biostatistician.

Table 1 compares the differences among the 5 roles. With caArray version 2.x and all prior versions, All 5 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 Can I change the ownership of the experiment in caArray?.
