2 Access and user permissions

Study Planning is not functionally tied to Oracle Site Activate studies – meaning the tool itself does not allow users to create or modify studies, and users do not access Study Planning based on assigned study access. Instead, users who have a business role with one or more of the permissions described below log in or single sign in to Oracle Site Activate and navigate to Study Planning from the option in the global navigation "More" menu.

Oracle Site Activate permissions related to Study Planning are:

• Enable access to Study Planning – Users with this permission may view, create, and modify study plans.
