Creating and Maintaining Object Security Roles

A role consists of a name, description, and a set of operations allowed on object subtypes. Users in a user group that have access to a particular object will be able to perform the operations on the types of objects specified by the role(s) they have in the user group.

Predefined roles intended for use with Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Warehouse (Oracle DMW) are shipped with Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub. These roles appear in the Oracle LSH Manage Roles page. Although they were created for use with Oracle DMW, you can also use these roles in Oracle LSH user groups either as they are or with any modifications you choose. Additional privileges are required to perform Oracle LSH tasks on objects that do not exist in Oracle DMW.

You can also define your own roles for either Oracle LSH or Oracle DMW. See the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Implementation Guide for information on designing a set of roles.
