  • They should be able to create, design, and launch a study.

  • There should be a project in Synapse for that study.

  • They should be able to add collaborators to their Synapse project.

  • They should have access to the study data in Synapse.

Use case 4:

A researcher with a validated Synapse account and existing study wants to edit raw data in their Synapse project.

  • They should be able to edit the raw data. (This needs to be checked)

Use case 5:

A researcher with a validated Synapse account and existing study wants to add collaborators to their Synapse project.

  • They should be able to add collaborators with any level of permissions.

  • All collaborators need to be validated accounts.

Each level includes all access granted by the level before it. Notably, the administrator level is the only point where a user can adjust others' (or their own) permissions to the project. And the account that creates the project is automatically set as an administrator.

  • Notes:

    • The study creator can make Teams to invite other users if they want.

    • The study creator can remove permissions from accounts that we need to retain access, like the exporter.

    • The study creator automatically has the ability to edit raw data.

    • This does not require Bridge to act on the Study Creator’s behalf through OAuth.
