Retire a study role

Study roles can never be completely removed, but if a study role is no longer of use in your study, you can always retire it. Users assigned with the now retired study role will not lose their permissions. Retired study roles are simply made unavailable for new use.

You can retire a study role anytime you want, but you cannot retire template study roles provided by Oracle. Template study roles are read-only and locked from any type of modification.
This task can be performed by both a global user manager and a study user administrator.
  1. From the Home page, Open the study's settings.
  2. Navigate to the Study Roles tab.
  3. Locate the study role that you want to retire and select it.
  4. Along the top, from the Manage Study Roles drop-down, select Retire.

    Tip:

    If you want to create a similar study role to the one that you retired, you can always copy it. See Create a study role at the study level.
    The icon of a retired study role is grayed out (Retired study role icon).
