Permission to run reports from the UNIX command line is restricted to
user datafax and to users in group studies.
DFexplore users do not require a UNIX login account and are restricted only
by the permissions specified in their roles.
Since database access restrictions may differ by study role and even for different users with the same role, execution of the same report by different users may lead to different results, and some users may be blocked from running a report because of inadequate permissions. Database access restrictions can be specified by site, subject, visit, plate and workflow level to limit the data records a user can read, and thus the output of each report. For example, clinical investigators allowed to see only the data for their own site will see results for their site alone when running the site and subject tracking reports. The table summarizes the affect of database access restrictions on each report.
Table 1.1. Conformance with Access Restrictions for Standard Reports
| Conformance | Report Name(s) |
|---|---|
| (none): All database access restrictions are ignored. The output from this report is not affected by access restrictions and is the same for all users. | DF_ATcrfs, DF_ATfaxes, DF_ICcenters, DF_ICschema, DF_ICvisitdates, DF_ICvisitmap, DF_QCfaxlog, DF_QCstatus, DF_SScenters, DF_SSschema, DF_SSvars, DF_SSvisitmap, DF_WFcrfs, DF_WFcrfsperwk, DF_WFdiskusage, DF_WFfaxes, DF_WFqcs |
| (record): All database access restrictions are applied. The output is restricted to those records for which the user has access permissions. The output from this report will vary across users and will reflect their individual record access restrictions. | DF_ATmods, DF_ICkeys, DF_ICqcs, DF_ICrecords, DF_PTcrfs, DF_PTlist, DF_PTmissing, DF_PTqcs, DF_PTunexpected, DF_qcsbyfield, DF_stats |
| (subject): All database access restrictions are applied. The output is restricted to those subjects for whom the user has full visit and plate access permissions. The output from this report will vary across users and will reflect their individual subject access restrictions. | DF_PTvisits |
| (site): All database access restrictions are applied. The output is restricted to those sites for which the user has full subject, visit and plate access permissions. The output from this report will vary across users and will reflect their individual site access restrictions. | DF_CTcrfs, DF_CTqcs, DF_CTvisits, DF_PTschedule, DF_QCfax, DF_QCprint, DF_QCreports, DF_QCsent, DF_QCview |
| (full): All database access restrictions are applied. Only users with unrestricted access to all records in the study database can run this report. The output from this report will be the same for all such unrestricted users. | DF_ICimages, DF_QCupdate, DF_XXkeys, DF_XXtime |
