About Implementation Users in Student Management

Implementation users are those who configure and implement the Oracle Student Management Cloud service for other users.

They do these tasks:

• Implement Oracle Student Management Cloud.

• Administer application users and security, both during and after implementation.

• Set up basic enterprise structures.

To set up the Oracle Student Management Cloud service, you must create at least one implementation user. Implementation users have the access permissions for both implementation as well as maintenance of the service.

How are Implementation Users Different From Other Users?

As an implementation user, you will most probably use the job role called Application Implementation Consultant. Such a job role gives you unrestricted access to large amounts of data. However, you don't need this level of access after you're done with the implementation. After implementation, both application users and administrators can do their tasks with job roles that don't have as much access to data.

The other difference is that as an implementation user, no record of you as a person exists in Oracle Student Management Cloud; you exist only as a user account. Person records exist, however, for application users and administrators.

Who Creates Implementation Users?

The administrator of the Oracle Student Management Cloud service creates the initial implementation users.

Do You Have Any Recommendations For Creating Implementation Users?

To ensure segregation of critical duties, consider creating at least these two implementation users.

Implementation User	Description
TechAdmin	As a technical super-user, this user will do the technical and security setup for the cloud service.
SMUser	As the person who implements Oracle Student Management Cloud, this user will do the functional setup for the cloud service.

You might need to create other implementation users also, for example:

• An application implementation manager, who can assign implementation tasks to other implementation users. This implementation user has the Application Implementation Manager job role.

• A product family application administrator, who can do the implementation tasks for a specific product. You might find this useful if you're implementing multiple Oracle Cloud products and want a separate implementor for each product.

Tip: The Application Implementation Consultant job role can access all setup tasks for Oracle Cloud Applications.
