Inviting Contacts and Managing Security

In the world of clinical trials, there are diverse users, each with specific roles and responsibilities—some handle complex procedures, while others may only be responsible for reviewing and signing documents for a site. To ensure that each user can perform their duties efficiently and securely, it's essential to assign the appropriate access levels and privileges to a site.

Trial Interactive (TI) implements a streamlined process that aligns seamlessly with real-world clinical trial scenarios. It addresses key questions to define a user's role, such as:

  1. What is the size of the organization?
  2. Does the organization involve users who handle multiple roles or users who are assigned specific roles in a site?
  3. Does the user need to oversee the complete site activities, or is it enough for the user to only be a contact point on the site?

By addressing these questions, TI ensures that the user roles are well-defined and tailored to the organization’s specific needs, promoting efficient site management and enhancing overall trial execution.

Trial Interactive (TI) implements the following process to assign a combination of rights and privileges to site members to enable them to carry out their responsibilities:

  1. It allows two security privileges to be assigned to users – Editor and Reader.
  2. A reader is allowed read-only access, whereas an editor can perform various other advanced functionalities like adding documents and sending documents for review to activating sites.
  3. An Admin is a privileged role and is assigned to users only in specific cases discussed later in this guide.
