This article explains how users can remove erroneous records from REDCap projects without having delete privileges.

Instructions

  1. Navigate to the record home page for the erroneous record.

  2. Click Choose action for record and select Assign to Data Access Group from the drop down menu.

3. In the Assign record to a Data Access Group? window, select the deprecated Data Access Group (DAG) from the drop-down and select Assign to Data Access Group.

4. You will see a green message that the record was successfully assigned to a Data Access Group!

If no “deprecated” DAG exists, ask the Project Designer or Project Manager to create a DAG called “deprecated”.
