An organisation profile can be used to interact with the ODC either on behalf of a business entity or for personal activities. It is the way you conduct business with the ODC. Organisations can have one or 2 administrators, along with multiple members who are assigned specific levels of access (known as system roles).
Organisation administrator
The manager of an organisation within ODC Business Services. These users have the HPRG Administrator system role and can invite and manage members of the organisation. They can also draft and submit applications, as well as view all draft and submitted applications associated with that organisation. Each organisation can have 2 administrators.
Organisation contact
To become an organisation contact, you must be invited by an organisation administrator. Each contact can be assigned a system role that determines their level of access (see System roles within the ODC Business Service for more information). If a contact does not have a system role assigned to them, they cannot access the ODC Business Service. There is no limit to the number of contacts an organisation can have.
Submissions
The applications forms you have either partially completed (drafts) or submitted.
System roles
Contacts of an organisation can be given a system role by the organisation administrator. There are 5 system roles: HPRG Administrator, HPRG Financial, HPRG Drafter, HPRG Submitter, and Informed Consent Responder. Each system role has specific level of access and functionality. For a breakdown of the system roles see: System roles within the ODC Business Service.
