Organizations are the top-level containers in Carelane. They provide workspaces where teams collaborate on clinical research studies.

What is an Organization?

An organization represents a research institution, sponsor, CRO, or any entity conducting clinical research. Within an organization, you can:
  • Create and manage studies
  • Build reusable templates
  • Invite and manage team members
  • Control access through role-based permissions

Organization Types

Standard Organization

A collaborative workspace for teams. Members can be invited and assigned various roles.

Private Organization

A personal workspace for individual use. Cannot invite other members.

Organization Roles

Organizations have two primary roles:
RoleCapabilities
AdministratorFull access to organization settings, member management, and all studies
MemberAccess to assigned studies based on study-level roles
Organization roles are separate from study roles. An organization member may have different permissions in different studies.
