Add 'sub-department only' user

In general, site users created on Siteline can access all studies from the department by way of their affiliation. However, in some circumstances site users may not require access to all studies coming of a department. In such a scenario, site administrators can create a sub-department and allocate the study to it. Please see here for instructions on setting up a sub-department.

Please note that Siteline automatically extends the departmental affiliation to new users as that of site administrator's. For instance, when a site administrator from Late phase oncology department creates a new user, the user will be affiliated to Late phase oncology by default. Therefore, in order for the new user to have study visibility only to the sub-department, site administrators should edit the new user's departmental association and revoke their access to the main department but leave the association only to the sub-department.

Step 1: Edit the new user's departmental association and add the relevant sub-department.

Step 2: Revoke the main department affiliation by clicking on the 'red cross' button. Siteline will prompt to confirm the deletion.
