Host Level Roles and Rights
TrialKit requires that every user have two roles:
A role at the host level
A role at the study level
If you are accessing any item from the menu shown below, be aware that this only affects users at the host level and has nothing to do with their role or functions in a specific study within that host account.
Do not configure study roles (e.g. Monitor, Coordinator, Investigator) at the host level. Study level roles are configured at the study level. Use the links above to learn more about the difference.
Most users at the host level have a role of “No Access”. This simply means they have no access to host-level permissions shown below. Instead, they will only have permissions at the study level.
The table below provides definitions of each of the host-level permissions which can be granted or denied for host-level roles.
