Assign roles in Oracle Life Sciences IAMS

A user with an Oracle Life Sciences single sign-on (SSO) can't start working until they have been assigned one or more product roles. The roles grant access to Oracle Clinical One Platform and/or Oracle Clinical One Digital Gateway as a whole, rather than to specific studies. A product administrator will assign study-specific roles to users from within Oracle Clinical One Platform.

Before you can assign roles to a user, you must complete the steps in Create an Oracle Life Sciences single sign-on.
The following users can assign or request roles:
  • Delegated administrators can assign roles to Oracle Life Sciences SSO accounts (as described in this procedure)
  • Users with Oracle Life Sciences SSO accounts request roles for themselves as described in Request roles

To assign roles to a user:

  1. Sign in to Oracle Life Sciences IAMS as described in Sign in to Oracle Life Sciences IAMS directly with your Oracle Life Sciences SSO administrator account.
