The permissions page enables the researcher to give specific permissions to research staff. First, a role will need to be created, then the user will create an account. Lastly, mHealth will add the new user to the study. More details can be found below.

Permissions can also be searched for using the “Search By” function at the top of the page.

When submitting a new user request, PI approval(s), and the IRB approval letter for that user are required before the request can be processed.

Creating New Role

When creating a new role, click on “Add a New Role.”

After naming the role, permissions can be established.

Permissions: can be selected on a row-by-row basis (image below).

View -

allows the user to view items in this tab

Edit -

allows the user to edit existing items in this tab

Create -

allows the user to create new items in this tab

Archive -

allows the user to archive existing items in this tab

Admin -

allows the user all possible rights to this tab

After selecting the desired permissions, click “Done.”

After setting permissions, the role will appear under study roles. Editing or deleting roles can be achieved by clicking on their respective action icons.

Researchers commonly provide admin rights to research assistants who create Insight apps, then change their rights once the study is created and thoroughly tested. This prevents staff from mistakenly changing items after the study begins.

Add New User

Steps to adding new user:

  1. New user creates account. Instructions can be found here Create an Account

  2. Submit a support ticket including the PI Approval, IRB Approval Letter, and Username of the intended user. Note: failing to provide all information may delay the account creation process.

    1. Instructions on submitting a support ticket can be found here Support Ticket

  3. mHealth will send a welcome email to the requester and new user after the new user request has been processed and added to the study.

After mHealth adds the new user, they will appear on the list with their username, email, and role in which they are assigned. User roles can be changed and/or deleted on the study roles tab at the PIs discretion.
