    Article summary

    The following permissions allow users to view, edit, and add research elements:

    • Research (Edit Configurations): The user can add and modify Research Sources, with the ability to modify the configuration and use of Data Keys.

    • Research (Edit Data): The user can modify the research data on a record. If the source of data is verified, the user cannot edit the data.

    • Research (Edit Verified Data): The user can modify research data on a record, even if it comes from a verified source.

    • Research (View Data): The user can view research data on a record.

    In addition, research sources may be placed into Realms to further restrict the ability of users to access research items. Research sources placed in a realm are only accessible to users who have access to that realm, regardless of the user being granted the permissions described above. 

    When used in combination with population-based permission control, these permissions and realms provide enhanced, granular control over how users see various sources on the records within the database. 

    When does the Research tab appear? - The Research tab appears on a record when a research source with the same scope as that record exists. The Research tab appears only for those users with access to view research data on a record.
