Export, Import, Delete Data Access Groups from a Project

Description

These methods enable the user to export existing Data Access Groups, import new Data Access Groups, or delete Data Access Groups from a project.

Usage

exportDags(rcon, ...)

importDags(rcon, data, ...)

deleteDags(rcon, dags, ...)

## S3 method for class 'redcapApiConnection'
exportDags(rcon, ...)

## S3 method for class 'redcapApiConnection'
importDags(rcon, data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'redcapApiConnection'
deleteDags(rcon, dags, ...)

Arguments

rcon	A redcapConnection object.
dags	character vector of names matching the unique_group_name.
data	A data.frame with two columns: data_access_group_name and unique_group_name.
...	Arguments to pass to other methods

Details

To import new data access groups, the user must provide a value for data_access_group_name with no value (NA) for unique_group_name.

To modify a group name, provide a new value for data_access_group_name with the associated unique_group_name. If unique_group_name is provided, it must match a value currently in the project.

Value

exportDags with the columns

data_access_group_name	The human readable name for the data access group.
unique_group_name	The internal unique group name.
data_access_group_id	The internal numeric identifier.

importDags invisibly returns the number of Data Access Groups imported.

deleteDags invisibly returns the number of Data Access Groups deleted.

• exportDags(): Export Data Access Groups from a REDCap Project

• importDags(): Import Data Access Groups to a project.
