• From the applications side bar menu select, User Rights
  
  
  
• You can then search for REDCap Users to add to your project.  If a user does not appear during a name search
  this means that the user has not logged into REDCap yet.  If you would like to add a person that has not logged into
  REDCap yet, you will need to use that person's REDCap ID.  A CCHMC user's REDCap ID is their username.  A UC or
  external user will have a custom REDCap ID. It can be created or provided by help-redcap@bmi,cchmc.org. Entering e-mail or names 
  in this field will not work.  
  
  
• After selecting the user or entering the users REDCap ID, you can then assign user roles.  Please give some thought
  to which specific project tools and data entry rights you would like to give this user.  
  
  

   User Rights functions  (displayed in picture above):

• Data Entry Rights - Grants user "No Access", "Read Only", "View&Edit", "Edit Survey Responses" rights to the project's data collection instruments.

• Data Export Tool - Grants user "No Access", "De-identified Only" and "Full Data Set" access to export all or selected data fields to one of the 5 default programs in REDCap (Excel, SAS, SPSS, R, Statal). Default Access: De-Identified; De-identified access shifts all dates even if they are not marked as identifiers. Non-validated text fields and note fields (free text) are also automatically removed from export.

Therefore, user with this privilege should be able to see all project data regardless of group.

• API -  (Application Programming Interface) The REDCap API is an interface that allows external applications to connect to REDCap remotely, and is used for programmatically retrieving or modifying data or settings within REDCap, such as performing automated data imports/exports from a specified REDCap project. For details on the capabilities of the REDCap API and how to use it, please see the REDCap API documentation.
