titleSteps to assign roles...
  • Click the 'Roles' tab on the user overview page.

  • Click 'Add role' and start entering data. Users can either assign privileges to all (current & future) CPs or specific CPs of a site.

Info

For multi-site protocols, you can assign multiple roles to a user under multiple sites on the same protocol.

Note

Note:

  • The 'All Current and Future' option in the site's drop-down will appear only if no roles are already assigned to a specific site.

  • When you assign the "Administrator" role to the user for a site, they get access to all CPs of that site by default.

  • You can only see those sites under the "Sites" dropdown that are registered under the institute that the user is affiliated with.

The user account will get locked in 3 cases:

  1. The user has tried maximum failed login attempts.

  2. The user is inactive for the 'N' number of days.

  3. Super admin forcefully locked the user account.

The system throws an error on UI about the account locked at the time of login. Locked users have to contact their admins to get their accounts unlocked.

To unlock a user account, search for the user's account → From the user overview page, click 'Unlock'. Following these steps, a user will get an email notification that the account is unlocked.  Super admin, institute admin, and site admin users can lock/unlock user accounts.

Note

Note:

If the super admin account gets locked, other super admins can unlock it, or the user has to email the OpenSpecimen help desk.
