Q: How do I edit a user in my REDCap project (change permissions)

Answer

To Change User Rights: Log in to REDCap, open your project, and click 'User Rights' in the left hand navigation bar.  All current users of the project will be listed.  

  • Custom Rights: User privileges can be granted directly to a user; simply click their username, select ‘Edit user privileges’, and add/remove checks for the privileges to modify.  You can also set an expiration date; after that date, the user will no longer be able to access the project.
  • Role: However, users can also be members of a role (a group of users with the same permissions).  To change the rights of the role, click on the red role name, and change then modify the permissions as above.

Alternately, users can be added/removed from role, by clicking on their username, and selecting to either ‘Re-assign to role’ to move to a different role, or ‘Remove from role’ to give custom rights.
