Users, rights, and roles

An administrator sets up users and roles in the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application. When an administrator creates a role, the administrator chooses:

• The scope of the role. A role can have a library, study, or application scope.
• The rights to associate with the role.

The scope of a role, rights assigned to the role, and teams determine whether users can perform certain activities and view different application areas.

• Library scope—Roles created with the library scope become library teams in the Oracle Central Designer application.

  To perform activities in a library, you must be assigned to:

  • A role with a library scope in the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application.
  • The corresponding library team in the Oracle Central Designer application.
• Study scope—Roles created with the study scope become study teams in the Oracle Central Designer application.

  To perform activities in a study, you must be assigned to:

  • A role with a study scope in the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application.
  • The corresponding study team in the Oracle Central Designer application.
• Application scope—Activities associated with the application scope are always available to all users, whether or not the users are assigned to teams. Roles created with the application scope do not become teams in the Oracle Central Designer application.
