Help for: RIMS Access

Summary: Using the RIMS Access feature, you can give others the ability to access your RIMS account.

Currently, the levels of access are:

• Primary: Primary users have full access to your account, including, but not limited to:
• adding and deleting users
• adding and deleting locations
• chemical inventory management
• starting, saving, and submitting protocols/permits/applications
• adding and removing users from the RIMS Access list


• Secondary: Secondary users can do all that primary users can do EXCEPT:
• submit protocols. Secondary users are NOT allowed to submit protocols/permits/applications
• adjust the RIMS Access list. Secondary users cannot even see the RIMS Access list

To add a user to the RIMS Access list:

• After logging in to RIMS, a Primary User will see the RIMS Access list on the RIMS homepage.
• To add a user, click on the link with the correct user type (primary or secondary)
• A new window will popup, and ask for the username to give access to
• Enter only the first part of the user's BU email address, the part before the @bu.edu
• Example: If the BU email address you want to add is "test@bu.edu", enter only "test" (without the quotes)
• Select "Apply Changes"
• Close the popup window and refresh your homepage to see the changes
