The role-based access control feature provides security with differing levels of access permission granted to different roles.

Team Roles

Team roles control access at the Samsung Health Stack level. Available roles are:

  • Team Admin
  • Team Member

From the version v0.9 web portal, the sole team admin is the first person to create a Samsung Health Stack account. Accounts for all others are team member accounts.

From the command line or code, having more than one team admin is possible.

In version v0.9, the team admin can create studies and invite members.

Study Roles

Study roles control access to various aspects of the study. To be part of the team for a given study, a person must have one or more study roles assigned. Available roles are:

  • Principal Investigator - has full access to all aspects of the study.
  • Research Assistant - has access to most aspects of the study.
  • Data Scientist - has access to most aspects of the study, but no access to participants’ personal information.
