Quick Start Guide

General Note to First Time Users

• Your REDCap login is your UT EID and password. 

• If you encounter issues with your account, you can reach out to your REDCap administrator through the email redcap@dellmed.utexas.edu. If you are already logged into REDCap, you can also reach out to your administrator through the "Contact REDCap Administrators" button in the bottom left corner of the page. 

Creating a New Project

• The ability to create a new project is limited to DMS affiliates.
  
  
• To be able to create your first project, please fill out the form and take the short tutorial: REDCap New User Training

Gaining Access to an Existing Project 

• Give the project creator (not REDCap administrator) your EID.
  
  
• Your EID will be added to the section "User Rights" for that project and be given appropriate access.

Giving Access to Users for Your Project

• Navigate to the "User Rights" section under "Applications" box on the left hand side of the page

• Use their UT EID under "Add New Users" to grant them access
  
  1. If adding with custom rights, enter the username into "Add New User" and then click "Add with custom rights". Select the appropriate privileges and then click "Add user".
  2. If adding to an existing role, enter the username into "Assign New User" and then click "Assign to role" and select the appropriate role.

• If the user has logged into REDCap before, their name should appear. If the user has not logged in before, you will need to manually type out their username. 

• For more information on the different access rights and privileges, see the section in the FAQ on User's Rights.
