Group Policies can be defined by each group to enforce certain configurations or options for all group members. Navigate to My Groups by selecting the Manage Groups option under the group dropdown menu and click Edit.



Select the Group Policies tab to enforce a group policy. Currently, the following group policies are supported:


  • Require Witness Signature for Experiments – enforce a second digital signature for counter-signing all experiments in the group
  • Enforce Assigned Witness Signature for Experiments – witness signatures for experimentscan only be completed by the assigned witness (note: when turned off, any collaborator with witness signing permissions may witness the experiment)
  • Restart-Only Procedure Sections – hides option to edit text makes Restart action the default interaction for a procedure section
  • Require Signature for Protocols – enforce a signature to publish a draft version of a protocol
  • Require Witness Signature for Protocols – enforce a second digital signature for counter-signing all protocols in the group
  • Enforce Assigned Witness Signature for Experiments – witness signatures for protocols can only be completed by the assigned witness (note: when turned off, any collaborator with witness signing permissions may witness the protocol)
