Registering a New User (and Organization) for PERC
As discussed in the "PERC Registration Form" section, above, the PERC registration forms contain just one section for both the person (user) trying to register and for the Organization with which the person is affiliated – the Organization record for PERC is simply a stand-in record for the Principle Investigator (PI). This section will cover how to create both a new user and a new (PERC) organization.
Note: It is possible to get a new registration where you only need to create either the User or the Organization record, e.g. the User existed in the system previously, but now works with a new PI that we don't have in the database. In that scenario, you would create a new Organization record for the new PI of the project, but link the Registered User to the Existing User rather than creating a new user record). As stated previously in this guide, you only want to create new records when the a corresponding record does not already exist (otherwise you'll be creating duplicate records).
If you notice that there are duplicative records in the system, follow these instructions in order to merge those records.
