System Enhancements – September 25, 2017

Enhanced: IREx allows IRB/ HRPP Liaisons to deactivate users at their institutions who no longer need access to IREx. To deactivate an account, search for the user on the Find Other Users page; click the user name to open the edit user window; change the user status to inactive; and click save.

Enhanced: IREx now attaches the Participating Study Team Quick Guide to all new study invitation emails sent to study teams. This quick guide outlines how Participating Site Study Teams can provide access for other study team members and how to access and download approval documents.

Enhanced: IREx now allows the Reviewing IRB Liaisons to update the protocol version name when replacing a draft protocol with a final approved version.

Bug Fixes: September 25, 2017

Fixed: Liaison and study team access to approval documents is now restricted to only documents associated with their institution. Multi-site Liaisons and Liaisons of FWA components can see and download documents for all the FWA institutions and components they manage.

Fixed: We updated the Participating Site approvals interface to carry forward sites that ceded review on a previous version, but have not yet been approved on the most current version. This enhances the version control to ensure the Participating Site initial review is associated with the correct version of the protocol.
