Managing multiple biobanks within single OpenSpecimen

OpenSpecimen is designed to manage multiple biobanks within a single instance of OpenSpecimen. To achieve this, it is essential to understand the high-level data organization of OpenSpecimen.

 

Highlights

  1. One or more super-administrators manage the whole instance.
  2. The super-admin can view/add/edit data across all biobanks.
  3. Each biobank can have its own "institute administrator". 
  4. The institute administrator can view/add/edit data across all the studies within that biobank.
  5. Each biobank can have multiple studies. Users can be assigned roles per study.

How to configure multiple biobanks?

  1. Create a new "institute" per biobank
  2. Assign institute admins per biobank
  3. The institute admin can do all the operations within that institute. E.g., create users, sites, protocols, containers, etc.

How to give access to users to studies under different institutes?

CP name: Breast Cancer Collections (BC_CP)
CP Site: "New York Collection Site" in "All USA" Institute

User: John is from "All England" Institute and Site "London Collection Site"
It is decided that samples will be collected in London for the BC_CP.  To give John access to it, you need to add "London Collection Site" to the BC_CP's sites list.

A CP can have sites from different institutes.
