The statistician role includes unnecessary rights (former known issue)

Global user managers or user administrators: Now, the predefined statistician template role provided by Oracle no longer includes additional rights that are not required for this type of user. Because these additional rights are no longer associated with the study role, a statistician can no longer see features that they should not see on the User Interface (UI). Previously, they encountered inconsistent behavior throughout the application, such as:
  • On the Subjects tab, although the option for reconciling kits was available in the user interface, a statistician could not select and update a kit's status. An error message appeared stating that they didn't have enough permissions to perform this task. Now, a statistician can no longer see the option for reconciling kits.
  • On the Study Inventory tab, a statistician received multiple Oops error messages when attempting to update a kit's location or status. Now, a statistician can no longer see the options for updating a kit's location or status.
  • On the Confirm Dispensation dialog, when a statistician attempts to confirm the dispensation of a kit, the kit number disappears and the kit cannot be confirmed. Now, a statistician can no longer see the Confirm Dispensation button.

Retracted workaround: None. A statistician was not supposed to perform the above-mentioned tasks. However, seeing these options available in the user interface caused confusion as to what tasks a statistician can or cannot perform in the application.

A pharmacy user cannot create DDF shipments (former known issue)

Global user managers or user administrators: Now, when you create a custom study role for a pharmacy user and assign the permissions typically associated with that user type, they can create shipments for destruction (also known as DDF shipments). Previously, even though the pharmacist role may have had the appropriate permission assigned to them (and in the template, as well), a pharmacist could not raise shipments for destruction.

Retracted workaround: When creating a study role for a pharmacy user, you no longer have to include the Perform Source Data Verification and Reconcile Inventory permissions to ensure that the user can create DDF shipments. (Issue 31610928)

A Production Admin can create a shipment without the required permission (former known issue)

Global user managers and user administrators: Now, when you create a Production Admin user who is assigned the corresponding Oracle template study role, they can no longer see the Create Shipment button, on the Shipments tab, as expected. Previously, a Production Admin could create manual shipments in the system without having the required Create Manual Shipment permission assigned to their study role.

Retracted workaround: None. (Issue 33326742)

A user account’s effective dates may change in the UI and reports (former known issue)

User administrators: Now, on the Users tab, when you attempt to change a user’s study role, its effective start and end dates remain the same, as expected, in both the user interface and the User Assignment report. Previously, when you edited a user, its start and end dates were both modified. This issue was caused by the difference between the time zone during which the user was created and the time zone during which the user was edited.

Retracted workaround: None. (Issue 33362166)

A study role cannot be updated in the Japanese application (former known issue)

User administrators: Now, while the application’s language is set to Japanese, you can update a user’s study role at any time. Previously, whenever you attempted to update a user's study role, on the Edit User dialog, the drop-down for each study mode displayed a message that said: ”The text which matches your search is not found.” instead of the study role options.

Retracted workaround: None. (Issue 33767546)
