About Oracle Life Sciences Identity and Access Management Service (IAMS)

Customer Delegated Administrators (CDA) use Oracle Life Sciences IAMS to create Oracle Life Sciences SSO accounts for other users in the organization. Once a CDA creates your Oracle Life Sciences SSO account, you can use Oracle Life Sciences IAMS to activate and manage your account, and to access secure Oracle Life Sciences applications.

Before CDAs can create user accounts, they must complete certain prerequisites. For more information, see Account creation prerequisites.

Your organization already has a CDA if you use any of the following products:
  • Oracle InForm
  • Oracle Central Coding
  • Oracle Empirica Study
  • Oracle Empirica Topics
  • Oracle mHealth Connector
  • Oracle Health Sciences Learn Manager
Your changes in Oracle Life Sciences IAMS could impact the CDA and other users' accounts to access other products. You must coordinate account management actions with other CDAs, for example:

To start using Oracle Life Sciences IAMS, a CDA must create your account. Then you receive one or two notification messages, depending on your organization setup, providing instructions and details that you must use to activate your account. See Notifications for Oracle Life Sciences SSO account activation.

You can then use your Oracle Life Sciences single sign-on (SSO) to access Oracle Life Sciences applications. But, to access studies, an administrator (known as the Approver) must approve your role. Roles provide specific permissions to perform different tasks. Depending on your organization setup for account management, you can request roles or a CDA 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 Health Sciences Cloud home page
