Alienable versus Inalienable Rights

When enabling login for an IRBManager contact you will be able to select their role (administrator, staff, etc.) and whether they will have alienable or inalienable rights.

Alienable means that, if that person is the PI or study staff on a particular study, their rights as an administrator, staff, etc. will be revoked for that study.  In other words, they will have as much access to their own study as another researcher who is not involved with the IRB, IACUC, etc.  

Inalienable means that their rights as an administrator, staff, etc. cannot be revoked.

Committee members who are not administrators or staff will automatically have alienable rights because it is assumed that these individuals are researchers.

To select the role and rights for a contact whose login you are enabling:

1. Find the contact whose record you want to edit and click the edit () icon next to their name.
2. Click the Enable Login link on the left under the Actions You will be brought to the Enable User Login page.
3. Under the User Details section within the Special Authority subsection, check off the box that corresponds to the role and rights you want that user to have.

NOTE:  If the person should not have special rights leave this section blank.

4. Click the Add User

3. Under the User Details section within the Special Authority subsection, check off the box that corresponds to the role and rights you want that user to have.

NOTE:  If this person should not have special rights leave this section blank.
