Study Design and Tracking Access to Content

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a collaborative environment for managing your business processes based on defined responsibilities and content lifecycles that provide secure access to content.

This page discusses:

Content Categories

Depending on your access role, you can create and manage the following types of content with Study Design and Tracking.

Content Type Category
Biologics Stability Study Definition
Biologics Stability Protocol Definition
Biologics Stability Storage Definition

The content you can access and the tasks you can perform depend on your access role. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: Content Categories.

Access Roles

Study Design and Tracking uses the following access roles, assigned to study members for each study. The table below describes the level of access for each role.

Access Role Description

Basic

Can search for studies.

Reader

Has read access to any study content.

Collaborator

Has read and edit access to any study content.

Owner

Has read and edit access to any study content.

Can request approval, activate, pause, or complete a study.

Can reject an active, inactive, or approved study.

The access roles provide hierarchical access. For example, an Owner includes all access that a Collaborator has (who has all access that a Reader has), plus additional specific accesses. For the baseline access roles, Owner includes all access that a Collaborator has (who has all access that a Reader has) plus additional specific accesses. In the above table, an access role has all the accesses of the roles that appear above it.

In addition to these access roles in Study Design and Tracking, if a study member has Review Rights they can approve or reject a study pending approval and finalize a complete study. Any user with any access role can have Review Rights.

You cannot delete the last user with Review Rights or remove the Review Rights from a user if they are the last remaining reviewer, irrespective of the study's lifecycle state.

Your business administrator can configure rules that change the default access behavior.

On premises only: Your business administrator can change the default responsibilities that control your access to commands, content, and collaborative spaces. Companies can also implement additional customized responsibilities.

This guide describes the default behavior when describing access to content or commands.

Your access to content or commands is determined by more than your responsibility. The current collaborative space, your organization, the current lifecycle state of the content, the app you are using, and other customizations all affect whether you can access content or commands. You might have access to some content or commands only under certain conditions.
