# Configuring Study Site Addresses

You can create and manage study-specific addresses for [_Study Sites_](/en/lr/4345/#study_sites) using the [_Study Site Address_](/en/lr/899121/) (`study_site_address__v`) object.

## Configuration Overview

* Add the _Study Site Addresses_ [related object section](/en/lr/26387/#related-document) to _Study Site_ page layouts.
* Optional: Configure [validation rules][1] for _Study Site Addresses_.

## Configuring Validations on Study Site Address {#study-site-address-validation}

You may have instances where downstream systems, such as IRT/RTSM systems, require specific addresses that are shorter than the addresses Vault provides. For example, IP Shipment Addresses going to a shipping depot.

For these cases, _Study Site Addresses_ support validation rules. Vault displays the configured validation rules when users make changes to _Study Site Address_ records that do not satisfy the validation rules. We only recommend configuring validation rules when downstream systems require them.

## Related Permissions
You can complete all steps in this article and the [Creating Study Site Addresses](/en/lr/899121/) article with the standard _Business Administrator_, _System Administrator_, or _Vault Owner_ profile. The following permissions control the ability to configure and create _Study Site Addresses_ within Vault. If your Vault uses custom security profiles, your profile must have the following [permissions](/en/lr/22824/): 

| Permission Type | Permission | Controls    |
| --------------- | ---------- | ----------- |
| Security Profile | Admin: Objects | Ability to add the _Study Site Address_ related object section to the _Study Site_ page layout |
