Oracle Life Sciences Identity and Access Management Service

Once a delegated administrator creates your Oracle Life Sciences SSO account, you can use Oracle Life Sciences Identity and Access Management Service (Oracle Life Sciences IAMS) to activate your account, access secure Oracle Life Sciences applications, and manage your account.

Delegated administrators use Oracle Life Sciences IAMS to create Oracle Life Sciences SSO accounts. But, they must complete certain prerequisites to create the accounts. For more information, see Account creation prerequisites.

Using Oracle Life Sciences IAMS for other applications

Your organization already has delegated administrators if you use any of the following products: Oracle InForm, Oracle Central Coding, Oracle Empirica Study, Oracle Empirica Topics, Oracle mHealth Connector, and Oracle Health Sciences Learn Manager. Your changes in Oracle Life Sciences IAMS could impact the delegated administrators and users of the other products. For example, coordinate the following changes with other delegated administrators:

Changing the password reset flow from Security Questions to Email Link. See Choose the password reset flow.
Using Oracle Life Sciences My Oracle Bookmarks. See What roles do I need to assign to users of My Oracle Bookmarks?.

To start using Oracle Life Sciences IAMS

Receive up to two account notification messages from Oracle Identity Manager (OracleIdentityManager@oracle.com).
Find your account user name and links to Oracle Life Sciences IAMS in the message instructions.
Activate your account by opening Oracle Life Sciences IAMS, creating a password, answering challenge questions (if required), and signing in with the activated account.

You can then use your Oracle Life Sciences single sign-on (SSO) to access secure Oracle Life Sciences applications. But, you cannot access studies until an administrator (known as the Approver) approves your role. Roles provide certain permissions to perform activities. Depending on how your organization set up accounts, you can request roles or a delegated administrator can assign them. Once approved, you can access studies.

You can sign in to Oracle Life Sciences IAMS directly or through these applications:

Oracle Health Sciences My Oracle Bookmarks
Oracle Life Sciences Cloud home page

For more information on activating your account, see Oracle Life Sciences SSO account notification.
