You are on the right track, but are missing a step.
The approach is:
1. define the admin user
2. define groups - you added data entry group, but DON’T give them any rights on that page (first image). The check boxes are just for the management rights.
3. define users - add a new user (name, password) and assign to the data entry group
4. define entry rights -click on your data entry user(s) and give them person Read, Update, Create rights on the ‘Current Entry Rights’ tab by clicking in those boxes; you can actually take away entry rights from an admin.
4. save the project

Just following up on my query above.. I thought maybe sharing some screen shots would clarify the problem I am encountering with defining entry rights for a data entry user in epidata manager... So this is how I have set up this particular group and you can see there assigned rights.. Ideally I wouldn't even want them defining, preparing double entry or translating projects but in case the issue was that I was not assigning them any rights at all I give them these limited rights.. [image: image.png] The problem is when I then look at current entry rights below this group of users have none at all in the data form. The only way they get right s is if I make them part of the admin user group which completely defeats the purpose of having a hierarchical user system because then they can do everything the admins can?

Trying to define Entry rights as shown below does not result in anything happening at all.
