About Security in Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Workbench

Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Workbench (Oracle DMW) is installed on top of Oracle LSH and uses its security system, which is itself based in part on the Oracle Applications (Oracle E-Business Suite) security system.

For introductory information, see the chapter on administration in the Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Warehouse User's Guide.

To set up Oracle DMW security:

• Assign specialized administrative roles to a few users to create Domains to contain and organize studies, grant blind break and unblind privileges, and add users to user groups. See Setting Up Specialized Administrators.
• Create user accounts for all users, including application roles for all users; see Creating User Accounts and Assigning Application Roles
• Create user groups; see Creating and Maintaining User Groups.
• Assign object security roles to user groups. You can use shipped roles created for use with Oracle DMW or modify them as required.

  See the appendix "Predefined Roles" in the Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Warehouse User's Guide for more information.

• Assign users to object security roles within user groups; see Adding Supported Roles to User Groups
• Assign user groups to objects in Oracle DMW; see the Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Warehouse User's Guide.
