Create System Administrator and Security Administrator Users

You must create Oracle LSH user accounts for one or more users and give them the roles required to perform Oracle LSH setup tasks:

• The LSH System Administrator can run the post-installation job and define service locations and services in the LSH user interface. (See Run the Post-Installation Programs and Define Service Locations and Services for details.)

• The LSH Security Administrator assigns other special security administrator roles (Adapter Security Administrator, Classification Administrator, Data Blind Administrator, Bootstrap Administrator, User Group Administrator) to other users and sets up the object security system (defines object subtypes, roles, and user groups).

The Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide includes instructions for these and other security-related tasks. The Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Implementation Guide includes information on designing an object security system for your organization.

• Log on as sysadmin
  
• Create a User Account for the Administrator
  
• Assign a Role
  

Log on as sysadmin

To log on, do the following:

1. Open your web browser.
2. Enter the eBusiness Suite SSWA (Self-Service Web Application) URL as follows:

   http://<host name>.<domain name>:<HTTP port>/OA_HTML/AppsLogin

   For example:

   http://appshost.your_company.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin

   The Applications Login screen appears.

3. Log in as sysadmin.

   An E-Business Suite screen opens.

Create a User Account for the Administrator

You must create a user account for each person to whom you want to assign the LSH Security Administrator or LSH System Administrator role. Oracle LSH uses the standard Oracle Applications UMX interface for creating user accounts.

Note:

For complete information, see the Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide—Security, Oracle Part Number B13923-02. The book is included on the media pack.

You can see it online from the Oracle Technology Network at http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html.

1. Select User Management by clicking on it in the Navigator (near the bottom of the list on the left). New links appear in the second column, including Users.
2. Click Users under User Management. The User Maintenance screen appears.
3. From the Register drop-down list, select External Organization Contact and click Go. The Register Business Contact screen appears.
4. Enter values in the following fields:

   • Email Address. Enter the user's email address. Oracle LSH uses this address for corresponding with the user.

   • Name Fields. Type the name of the user in the fields. The First Name and the Last Name are mandatory. Prefix, Middle Name and Suffix are optional.

   • Organization. If you have a multi-organizational setup, enter or search for the Organization the user belongs to.

   • Phone Number. The telephone contact details for the user.

   • Extension. The extension of the provided telephone number of the user.

   • Account Information. Select Generate Automatically for Oracle LSH to generate and email the password. Or select Enter Manually and type and confirm the password.

5. Click Submit. The Confirmation screen appears.
6. Click OK. Oracle LSH creates the user account and returns to the User Management screen.

Assign a Role

Assign administrator roles as follows:

• LSH System Admin. You must assign the LSH System Admin role to at least one user.

• LSH Setup Admin. You must assign the LSH Setup Admin responsibility to at least one user.

• LSH Adapter Security Admin. You must assign the LSH Adapter Security Admin role to at least one user.

• LSH Data Security Admin. This role allows a user to create all the objects required by the Oracle LSH object security system: object subtypes, object roles, and user groups.

• LSH Function Security Admin. This role allows a user to create user accounts and assign functional roles to them. Functional roles control which parts of the Oracle LSH user interface a user can view or allow special privileges.

• LSH Security Administrator. This role is a combination of the LSH Data Security and Functional Security Admin roles.

Note:

For further information on Oracle LSH security and security roles, see the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide.

To assign a functional role to a user:

1. Go to the User Maintenance screen.

   If you are already in the User Management tab, click the Users subtab.

   Or log in as sysadmin, click the User Management responsibility in the navigator, click Users, and click the Users subtab.

2. Search for the user to whom you want to assign roles. The system displays the search results in the lower portion of the screen.
3. Click the Update icon corresponding to the user. The Update User screen appears.
4. Click Assign Roles. The Search and Select screen appears.
5. Search for all Oracle LSH predefined roles by selecting Search By Roles and Responsibilities, entering LSH%, and clicking Go. The system displays all the predefined Oracle LSH functional roles in the lower part of the screen.
6. Select each role you want to assign by checking its box. See Assign a Role for further information.
7. Click Select. The system displays additional fields. Enter values as follows:

   • Justification. You must enter text in this field. Describe the reason this person needs this role.

   • Active From. The system automatically enters the current date. If you prefer to have the user's privileges begin at a later date, you can select the date you want by clicking the calendar icon.

   • Active To. Leave this field blank to avoid having the user's privileges automatically expire on the date you specify. When the user leaves the company or changes roles, you can enter an expiration date here. If you want to set an end date for the user's privileges associated with this role, use the calendar icon to specify the end date.

8. Click Apply. The system assigns the role(s) you specified plus any necessary base roles to the user.
