## 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** , 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.
  - Study Team Assignment statuses are not affected by delegation acceptance or approval.
