About Study Team Assignments

Overview

Creating a Study Team Assignment assigns a site staff user to a study.
An assignment grants the site staff user access to view a study and the study-related documents.
To create a Study Team Assignment, the user must already have a SiteVault account for your site.
Study Team Assignments can be managed in the following areas of SiteVault:
- Study > Team
- Administration > Staff
Study Team Assignment States
- Four possible states for a Study Team Assignment are available: Proposed, Active, Make Inactive (Digital Delegation only), and Inactive.
- Study Team Assignments are created in the Proposed state.
- Study Team Assignments can toggle between Active and Inactive.
- Study Team Assignments can only be deleted in the Proposed state.
- When an Assignment is updated to the Active state, the user’s most recent steady-state version and any subsequent versions of their profile documents (for example, CV and licenses) are added to the study.
- When a Study Team Assignment with the role of Principal Investigator is changed to Active, the Principal Investigator (PI) field on the study is automatically updated to that PI.
