Modifying User Privileges
To modify privileges on any instrument, you must be a super-user for that instrument. There are three types of "super-users" in a hierarchical order. They are:
- System super-users;
- Cohort owners or cohort super-users; and
- Instrument super-users.
System super-users are the people who are developing the CAPI Designer. System super-users have privileges over cohort owners. The system super-users are: Alla, Amy, and Ji. A cohort owner is a super-user for all the instruments within that cohort. An instrument super-user has privileges to add/delete/modify users' privileges for that instrument.
A user may have more than one privilege for a cohort or an instrument and several users may be added, deleted, and/or modified at a time.
