Review the Default User Profile in Oracle Empirica Signal

Before adding Oracle Empirica Signal users, the Oracle Empirica Signal Customer Administrator must review the Default User Profile defined in the Oracle Empirica Signal application for all application instances, such as UAT and PROD.

In the Oracle Empirica Signal application, you select a specific user profile to be the Default User Profile, as described in Set site options in the Oracle Empirica Signal User Guide and Online Help. All new Oracle Empirica Signal users provisioned via Oracle Identity Cloud Service automatically receive the user settings defined in the Default User Profile. Therefore, the Oracle Empirica Signal Customer Administrator should ensure the following Default User Profile settings reflect the intended standard configuration for all users.

  • The login group
  • The quota setting
  • The roles and permissions
  • The user preference settings
