5 Update user accounts

You can update user accounts in Oracle Life Sciences IAMS Oracle Identity Self Service to change user information, assign or remove roles, or to update account status.

• View or edit user details
  
• Update a user's name, email address, or user login
  You cannot update the account information for Oracle users. It can be updated only in corporate OIM. However, you can update the contact information of an Oracle user.
• Reset a password
  
• Remove roles
  If a user no longer needs access or privileges in an application or when the user leaves the company, we recommend that you remove unnecessary roles.
• Lock an account
  When a delegated administrator explicitly locks an account, the user cannot use the Trouble Signing In link to regain access. Lock a user account to prevent the user from logging in before you disable the account for termination of employment or for other reasons.
• Unlock an account
  If the account was explicitly locked by a delegated administrator, you need to unlock the account before it can be used again. Users who lock their accounts by entering an incorrect password too many times can use the Trouble Signing In link on the Sign In page to reset their passwords and unlock their account.
• Terminate or reinstate an account
  We recommend that you terminate a user account when the user is no longer employed by your company.
