e-ISuite Accesse-ISuite AccessEnterprise User Accounts are set up
through NAP and brought into e-ISuite by an Account Manager, who then assigns roles
Site User Accounts are established by the Account Manager during the initial set-up of the database (not associated with NAP) – roles are assigned at that time
Differences in roles in e-ISuite:◦ Account Manager (similar to I-Suite DB Admin
role)◦ Data Steward (similar to I-Suite Data Admin
role)◦ Combined Check-in/Demob◦ Other roles remain intact
