EditGroupRules

In the Rules tab, click icon_addrule to add a rule.

To edit a rule, click the rule name.

In the expanded area, enter or edit the Name for the rule.

Define the rule criteria by selecting the Folder Type, Properties, an Operator, and Criteria from the respective menus.

To add more criteria to the new rule, click icon_addcriteriarow and repeat the selections of Folder Type/Properties/Operator/Criteria. Multiple criteria within a rule for a group are applied using AND. For example, if a rule is specified that has 2 criteria, one stating that group permissions should be applied to folders of type “GRT Study” that have Indication = “GRT,” the other stating that group permissions should be applied to folders of type “GRT Study” that have Portfolio = “ABC,” the rule will apply permissions to folders of type “GRT Study” that have Indication = “”GRT” AND Portfolio = “ABC”.

Note:    Description should not be used when defining rule criteria.

Check on/off the box(es) to define the permissions to grant the group when the rule criteria are met. The permissions are grouped into 5 categories. Checking a box in the Check All category checks all boxes with the corresponding label in all of the other categories (e.g., if Read is checked under Check All, then Read will be checked for Root Folder, Data, Document, and Analysis). The remaining 4 categories represent the security contexts that were assigned when the folder type was created: Root Folder, Data, Document, and Analysis. For each of these 4 categories, permissions can be set to allow a group to:

Create content (add subfolders and upload files)

Read the contents of the folder

Edit the contents of the folder

Delete the folder and its content

Lock the folder or files in the folder

View the folder contents even when blinded in a study

Set the folder or files to be blinded in the study

As an example, a rule is defined that, for all folders of the “Project” type, that have the “Therapeutic area” property “equal” to “Cardiovascular,” Read and Edit permissions of Documents will be granted to members of the group. This means that a user who is a member of the group for which this rule is defined, will be able to read and edit documents that are located in Cardiovascular-related projects. Refer to “Example of setting up permissions for an external partner on a project” for another example.

Click Add to save the new rule or Apply to accept the modifications to the existing rule.

To delete a rule, click icon_deletefolder to the far right of the rule.
