Assigning roles to Team members

In Quadrant, the role regards the ability to grant access and edit the online project space (this differs from responsibilities, discussed in the earlier blog,  which define the tasks team members are assigned to undertake the research project). You can assign your research team members/ administration officers/ stakeholders to any of these five positions:

• Owner - E.g. Chief Investigator, PHD Supervisor. This person has full control and access to all elements of the project.
• Officer - E.g. Project Manager, Project Officer. This person has most privileges and access, but cannot modify major details or close a project.
• Worker - E.g. Research Assistant, Field Officer. This person can execute assigned workflow steps, add and edit participants but cannot affect project users. This is the day-to-day operations role.
• Support Worker - E.g. Transcriber, Data Entry Assistant. This person can access predefined workflow steps and operations, such as uploading files.
• Stakeholder - E.g. Project Board Member, Funding Representative. Stakeholders can access project meta-data such as number of participants in a workflow. Stakeholders cannot view any project files, participant information, or other Team members.

While these roles cannot be edited, you can easily change the role you have assigned to a team member at any time. Below is a list of permissions for each role.

By assigning a combination of responsibilities and roles,  this gives added security to the project owner that sensitive data is handled in a ethical manner. If you have any concerns or require advice, please contact the Quadrant team.
