Managing Members

Overview

Members are the people who are conducting the study. Your team consists of as many members as is pertinent for you. Thus, the Samsung Health Research Stack puts no restrictions on the number of members working on studies in your organization. Each study can have any number of the members participate in conducting the study. And, member management happens at the study level.

Inviting Members and Assigning Roles

Invite as many members to help conduct your study as you desire.

To add a member to the study and assign the member a role for the study:

  1. From the Study Settings page, in the Study Settings section, click Invite member.

  2. Enter the email address of the person to invite to the study.

  3. Select a study role for the member for this study. The role-based access control feature provides security with differing levels of access permission granted to different roles:

    • Principal Investigator - has full access to all aspects of the study.
    • Research Assistant - has access to the participant data.
    • Data Scientist - has access to essential features of the data analysis.

    Principal Investigator is the only study role available in version v0.9 of the portal. And the role appears in the Members and access table as Reseracher.

  4. Click Invite Member to add the member to the study.

  5. Notify the person that you have added them as a member for the study in the best way for your use case.

If the person does not already have an account, they receive an account activation email containing instructions to create their account.

When completed, the system adds the selected study role to the person's account settings for the specific study.

People can have different roles for different studies.
