Roles

Note

This section lists the roles that castellum ships by default. Administrators can customize these roles for their organization.

Study specific roles, in contrast to global ones, only take effect in the context of a study. They can be assigned in Member Management by the Study Coordinator.

Study Approver

Study Coordinators by default cannot start their own studies. Instead, they have to ask a Study Approver to review and start the study.

If you want to be less strict about this, you can either modify the Study Coordinator role or make all Study Coordinators also Study Approvers.

Receptionist

Receptionists can access the list of today’s appointments. That way they can help subjects who come to the institute without needing information from each study individually.

Study specific roles

Recruiter

Persons responsible for invitations to studies and the management of appointments should take on the role of Recruiters in Castellum. For this purpose, the Recruiter can view the contact details of individual subjects to establish communication with them. The Study Coordinators will define a recruitment text to be clarified in advance, which the recruiters should use when recruiting the respondent. To be able to schedule appointments, Castellum provides a calendar which shows available time slots.

If a Recruiter additionally takes on the role of Subject Manager, they can continuously update and supplement subject data during the recruitment process.

Relevant guides:

• Search for a subject

• Report a subject

• Make appointments for sessions

Study Conductor

We envisage this role for employees from the study programme who collect scientific data in a study with or on subjects. In order to implement this with the help of Castellum, the Study Conductor can view the participation pseudonyms of the respective subjects in the database.
