Overview

When you create a new SiteVault user for your site, you can choose from a set of system roles and, if needed, additional add-on permissions. See the About System Roles and Add-on Permissions page to learn more about what levels of access these roles and permissions provide.

Research Organization Administrator users can add users to one or more sites at a time when the research organization is selected in the vault selector. Site Administrators can only add users to their currently selected site.

For more access information, see About Roles and Permissions, or download the SiteVault Security Matrix or SiteVault User Access Guide.
