  Hi,
  
  in OC CDISC ODM implementation the "StudySite" is also considered a "Study". This means that the URL does in fact exactly specify whether the data is pulled from parent study or study site. In above mentioned example you have variable "urlStart" that ends with StudyOID. Which is your parent StudyOID so it will not work for StudySite for the user that has access only to the Site.
  
  You need to make this more dynamic and let the end part of the urlStart (the Study/SiteOID) be appended depending the currently active study of logged in user. You can do this by fetching the "Site" from the header of eCRF as it is described here:
  
  https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenClinica_User_Manual/VarsFromHeader
  
  if the value is "N/A" user is in parent study and you should append parent StudyOID otherwise user is in one of the sites and you should append site StudyOID.
  
  best

  Hi Alessandro,
  In addition to Tomas' answer: you can use the token ${studyName} to get the name of your site. You'll have to hardcode the site-oid based on the name(, which is not nice). Be aware that spaces are repesented by a +, so "Site A" will be "Site+A". Good luck,

  Hi @toskrip and @GerbenRienk, following your suggestions I came up with this solution:
  
  [...]
  var urlStart = "rest/clinicaldata/xml/view/${studyOID}/${studySubjectOID}";
  var urlTail = "/SE_002MYEVENT/*";
  var itemOID = "I_02AAA_MYITEM";
  var urlComplete = urlStart + urlTail;
  [...]
  
  
  which is working.
