The video above describes how to add users to your ReLiS project. The following lists the different user roles.
Administrator
The administrator has all read and write access to all projects. A user with adminitrator role is automatically part of all projects in ReLiS. This user will however not show up in the list of users on the home page of the project. The administrator can also query the databases directly from the Query Database menu. He also has write access to the database, therefore it should be used with caution. Only very advanced users with programming skills should be administrators.
Project Manager
The project manager has all the administrating privileges but only for his project. He can modify the settings and configuration of the project, manage users, and query the database. He can also assign articles to users and import articles.
Standard user
The following are considered standard users. They have access to the project but cannot manage it.
Reviewer
The reviewer can conduct the screening, perform the quality assurance, and perform data extraction from articles. He has read-access to other information, such as statistics, validation, and list of articles. He can modify exclusion criteria. He does not
Validator
The validator has the same rights as the reviewer, but can also perform validations.
Guest
Has very limited access in read-only to the project. This is equivalent to the Demo user, but for a specific project only.
