What are the different types of users in Oracle Life Sciences IAMS and the roles assigned to them?

These roles are specific to Oracle Life Sciences IAMS and they control privileges that users have in the Oracle Life Sciences IAMS application.

The following are the different types of users in Oracle Life Sciences IAMS:

  • • Customer Delegated Administrator
  • • System Administrator
  • • My Oracle Bookmarks Administrator
  • • Application End User

Customer Delegated Administrator

As an initial Customer Delegated Administrator (CDA) of your organization, by default, you will have the following roles:

  • • All Users: This is a default role assigned to all users that allows a user to access their own record.
  • • Role Authorizer: Allows to grant and revoke business services to a user in the organization.
  • • Role Viewer: Allows to view business services, user assignments, and the profiles of assigned users within the organization.
  • • User administrator: Allows to create, modify, and terminate users, enable, disable, lock and unlock, and grant and revoke business services within the organization.
  • • User Viewer: Allows to view organization, search for users, and view user profiles.
  • • System-admin: Allows to create OAuth clients. A CDA can assign this role to other users in the organization.

An initial CDA has the permission to submit a ticket in Health Sciences Support to request for an additional CDA in Oracle Life Sciences IAMS. The additional CDA will have all the above mentioned roles assigned to them.

The following are the roles that are not assigned to the initial CDA by default. The initial CDA can submit a ticket in Health Sciences Support to request for these roles:

  • • Approver: The Approver role is added to your organization on request. This role allows a CDA to access the Approval Details page, to claim, approve, or reject access requests for those roles where approval is active. See Request and assign the Approver role for details.
  • • HelpDesk: Allows to force a password change and unlock an account only if it is locked due to maximum failed login attempts, you must have the “HelpDesk” role.

System Administrator

The primary responsibility of a system administrator is to set up OAuth clients. A system administrator does not have the permission to manage Oracle Life Sciences IAMS users but has the permission to manage certain aspects of the Oracle Life Sciences IAMS application. As a system administrator, you will have the following roles:

  • • All Users: This is a default role assigned to all users that allows a user to access their own record.
  • • System-admin: Allows the user to create OAuth clients. The CDA gets this role by default but CDA could assign it to other users.

  • • All Users: This is a default role assigned to all users that allows a user to access their own record.
  • • Sponsor admin: Allows user to add descriptions, therapeutic area, customize My Oracle Bookmarks, and create links to native (non-SSO) InForm trials.

Application End User

Application end users will have only the “All Users” role assigned to them. This is a default role that allows a user to access their own record.
