Changes to Bridge data must be controlled in order to ensure the accuracy and integrity of data that flows through Bridge to become part of a permanent record in another primary system.
This process covers changes to participant data in Bridge or in Synapse that does not go through the normal flow of data through Bridge (upload, export, etc). This includes (but is not limited to) redrives of uploads and exports and direct modifications of raw exported Synapse tables.
Requests for ad-hoc data changes start with a Jira issue ticket that serves as a record of the change and approval process. The issue ticket must be generated by the Scientific Project Lead of the relevant project who has the Investigator role. Submitting the request under the unique userid of investigator is considered documentation of the signing authority approval to make the change. When a change to Bridge data also requires a change to Synapse data derived from it, one request may be appropriate for both platforms but should also meet the change control requirements for both.
The issue ticket must include the following elements:
All Bridge team members (server and client) are included in the BridgeStaff group (https://www.synapse.org/#!Team:3388391). This group has permissions to read and download all Bridge data in Synapse.
The BridgeAdmin group (https://www.synapse.org/#!Team:3388392) has admin permissions to all Bridge data, including write permissions. Only members of IT Operations, Directors of Engineering, and/or Chief Technology Officer will be in this group at all times. In order to make a data change in Synapse, the investigator requesting the change will need to follow the process documented above. Then, the Bridge admin will add that staff member to the BridgeAdmin group to perform the change, and once the change is completed, the Bridge admin will remove them from the BridgeAdmin group.
