The CDISC Library is a web-based solution providing a user with access to CDISC's data standards metadata.  The CDISC Library is accessible though the Data Standards Browser (DSB).

A CDISC product that provides an authenticated user with additional value-added tools for interacting with data from the CDISC Library, including interactive menus, search and scoping features, and the ability to filter by various criteria. 

Simply put, a user will use their CDISC Library credentials to visit the DSB and view data standards metadata provided by the CDISC Library.

A business-to-consumer (B2C) tenant housed on a resource in Microsoft's Azure platform that provides identity management for CDISC Library accounts.  An Azure AD tenant is a specific instance of Azure AD containing accounts and groups. 

Simply put, the Active Directory houses the stored CDISC Library account data, including log-in information, for our users on a segmented chunk of our overall rented storage (or resource) from Azure.  This data is segmented for integrity and security purposes, which is why it requires "switching directories" in Azure to access.

The requesting CDISC Member Organization with an active CDISC Membership and CDISC.org account uses the Account Request Form to submit a request for a CDISC Library account.

Performs the steps to provision or deactivate a CDISC Library account.

Accesses the Azure Active Directory B2C Tenant to complete the associated tasks.

Receives a CDISC Library account creation request, either:

• In the form of an automated email sent to cdisc_library_support@cdisc.org, generated by the submission of an Account Request Form by a CDISC Member Organization.
• In the form of a written request for a CDISC Library account.

Note:  It is strongly preferred that all requests be submitted through the Account Request Form.  If an informal request is received, the CDISC Library Support Technician should direct the requesting party to the Account Request Form if appropriate.  Exceptions may be granted by CDISC Management.

Confirms the CDISC Member Organization will not exceed their account allowance with this request, referenced on the "Account Allowance" tab of the CLIB Users SharePoint file.  If the account will place the Member Organization over the account allowance, the Technician advises the Member Organization of this, and inquires if the Member Organization would like to purchase an additional account, or remove a current account user.

Determines if the requestor is adequately authorized to request a CDISC Library account. 

• If this is the CDISC Member Organization's first account, no further approvals are required.
• If the Account Request Form was submitted by someone other than the Member Organization's existing Account Administrator, approval from the Account Administrator is required.
• Subsequent accounts should maintain the same IT/Technical Contact and Administrative Contact for all accounts created for a Member Organization, unless otherwise directed.

Receives a CDISC Library account deactivation request that involves removing access to the CDISC Library for an Account User.

Note:  Deactivated accounts on Azure AD B2C are not deleted, but rather, their associated credentials are blocked.
