eIRB+ Access Permissions

Individuals registered in eIRB+ can be given varying levels of access per study application. The table below summarizes the roles in eIRB+, how each role is assigned, and the associated permissions.

For changes to Study Team Members, Co-Investigators, or the Principal Investigator, see Personnel Changes .

Notes:
* Study Team Members and Co-Investigators receive read-only access by default. To create or edit applications or submit materials, they must also be added to the Guest List with appropriate permissions.
** The Principal Investigator (PI) automatically has permission to create, edit, and submit applications and receives all IRB communications.
