8 Managing User Groups
A user's ability to see reports and definitional objects depends on belonging to a user group with access to the object. In addition, a user must have the proper role within the user group to be able to take any action on the object, such as to view a report or modify a Program definition. As the group administrator, it is your responsibility to add users to appropriate roles in the groups you administer.
A user group can include multiple users and a user can belong to multiple groups.
The LSH system administrator is responsible for creating user groups, assigning roles to the group, and assigning a group administrator to each group. For information on exactly what privileges each role conveys to the user, ask your administrator.
You must have group administrator privileges for a particular user group to add users to the group.

Adding Users and Assigning Roles
To add a user to a group, you must assign the user to a role within the group. You can associate a user with multiple roles within the group as necessary and depending on your company's policies. You cannot assign yourself to a group.
To add a user to a role of a user group, go to the User Group subtab of the Security tab and do the following:
Note:
- Some roles may include privileges on blinded data. To perform any operation on blinded data and some operations on unblinded data, a user must have one of these roles and, in addition, the appropriate blinding-related application role. Application roles must be assigned to users by an administrator with special privileges: the Data Blind Administrator. Communicate with your Data Blind Administrator to be sure that the users in your group have the blinding-related application roles they need.
- Request your system administrator to clear the Oracle Applications cache after you assign user groups or modify user group assignments. See "Clearing Oracle Applications Cache" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide.
