Wagner, Amanda Van, David Voccola, Cermak Tracy, Charles Tirrell, Yourd Meredith, Jones Warren, Hawthorne Julie · Figshare · 2014
This poster compares different privileging systems for research data management in terms of their ability to produce HIPAA-compliant data access schemes, their maintenance by non-technical users, and their acceptance at a research center with nearly 100 users. The authors find find that a single database role with automatically assigned permissions based on lab and study membership was both superior and preferable to a solution in which distinct roles must be created for each access level.
