Add new user group
In the ADMIN app, you can create a new user group whenever you need to unite certain users with similar responsibilities, activities, and purposes to conveniently manage their access rights to selected sites and depots.
For instance, you can create User Group A to which you add clinical research associates (CRA) who only manage Site A and Depot A, and User Group B to add CRAs who manage Site B and Depot B.
