Creating and configuring users and roles

Use the following checklist to create and configure users and roles, and to assign users to roles in the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application.

Perform the steps in the order in which they are presented. Depending on how your company uses the Oracle Central Designer application, you might not need to perform all steps.

1. Log on to the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application.
   For more information, see Logging on and off
2. Create a role. You must provide a name and description and choose a role scope (library, study, or application scope).

   Optionally, use a role that is available by default with the application.

   For more information, see Creating a role.

3. Assign rights to a role.

   The available rights depend on the scope of the role. For example, library roles contain rights that control access to libraries.

   For more information, see Assigning rights to a role or Rights descriptions.

4. Create a user.

   You must provide a user name, display name, and password.

   For more information, see Creating a user.

5. Optionally, you can require the user to change the assigned password after the user logs on to the Oracle Central Designer application the first time.
   For more information, see Requiring users to change their passwords.
6. Optionally, provide contact information for the user.
   For more information, see Changing the contact information of a user.
7. Select the languages in which the user is fluent.

   In the Oracle Central Designer application, translators see translation request only for languages in which they have been specified as fluent.

   You must specify language fluency information before activating a user.

   Note:

   You select languages from a list of supported locales tha have been specified in the Oracle Central Designer Adminstrator application. For more information, see Adding and removing a locale.
