REDCap Authentication: In 2019, PMACS  migrated from table based (local REDCap account) accounts to LDAP/AD.  As a result,  you can only login with your PMACS account. Any users who have not yet requested a Pennkey with PMACS credentials must do so immediately to maintain an active REDCap account. Also, please note that group and secondary accounts are no longer supported.


Courtesy Accounts: Courtesy Pennkey Affiliations expire one year after creation. Prior to deactivation, the owners of such accounts will receive email notification. Please note this is NOT SPAM. If you still require your Courtesy Account, please do NOT delete this email but respond to it as instructed.

REDCap Monthly Upgrades: REDCap is upgraded each month in order to provide the user community with the latest features and bug fixes. These upgrades are always publicized in advance. Users are strongly urged to clear their web browser's cache following each upgrade in order to guarantee the most current installed release. Since this process differs from browser to browser, if you don't know how to do this, please contact your Local Support Provider.
