The Access Governance System (AGS) is a web portal that is used by Legal Signing Authorities (LSAs) of ClinicalConnect Participant Organizations to manage who holds the roles required of all Participants. It is also used by LSAs to perform semi-annual attestations of these role holders. A complete user guide designed for LSAs is below, as well as short videos that provide an overview of how to use AGS to perform tasks commonly undertaken by LSAs. 

Important Note: AGS was recently upgraded - please read the What's New in AGS for a summary of the changes (March 24, 2025)

AGS Resources for Legal Signing Authorities (LSAs)

• Complete AGS User Guide for Legal Signing Authorities (PDF)

  • Appoint new Local Registration Authority (LRAs) for your organization
  • Add LRA role to existing user (i.e. Privacy Contact also becomes LRA) 
  • Revoke LRA appointment 
  • Replace Privacy Contact 
  • Add Privacy Contact role to existing user (i.e. Legal Signing Authority also becomes Privacy Contact) 
  • Completing Semi-Annual Attestation of Privacy Contact, LRA(s) and Information Security Contact 
  • Changing Signing Authorities: existing Legal Signing Authority should use AGS to replace themselves in the role, or if required because the previous Legal Signing Authority is no longer with the organization, the new Signing Authority can email support@clinicalconnect.ca to provide confirmation of their signing authority and complete contact information.
