Data Sharing

Study Ownership

• By default, the study owner is the user who imports the study into ODM.
• Owners have full control over sharing and access management for their studies.

Sharing a Study

• Owners can share studies only with groups they are members of.
• Once shared with a group, the study becomes available to all members of that group.
• A study can be shared with multiple groups.
• The list of groups that have access to a study is visible in the “More Info” section.

Revoking Access

• Study owners can revoke access to a study at any time.

Transferring Ownership

• If a study owner becomes unavailable, administrators can assign a new owner.
• Ownership transfers are:
  • Permission-aware (only permitted roles can transfer).
  • Fully auditable (tracked in the system).
• The current owner may also initiate a transfer voluntarily.
