About users
A user is a person who works in the Central Coding application through the user interface.
The type of authentication used with Central Coding determines how you perform user management and authorization:
- Native authentication—Used in all self-hosted Central Coding instances. User accounts, roles, and work team assignments are managed in the application by the Central Coding administrator.
Users log in to the Central Coding application directly using the credentials provided by a user administrator.
- SSO authentication—Available only for Central Coding instances hosted by Oracle. Your organization’s delegated administrator (CDA) creates, manages, and grants access to user accounts from Oracle Health Sciences Identity and Access Management Service (OHSIAMS). After a user account is set up in OHSIAMS, a Central Coding user administrator assigns roles and work teams to the user.
Users log in with their SSO credentials. If the Central Coding application is integrated with instances of the InForm application that are SSO-enabled, users log in to one application to access both.
