Purpose
This CDISC Operating Procedure (COP) details the steps to provision or deactivate a CDISC Library account. This COP should be used when a user or member requests an account to access the CDISC Library, housed in the Data Standards Browser (DSB), or when an active Library account needs to be deactivated.
Scope
This COP should be used by the CDISC Library Support Technician ("Support Technician") and Azure Active Directory Administrator ("Azure Administrator") when creating or deactivating an account. For issues relating to incomplete account requests, obtaining proper authorization, and "edge cases," please refer to COP "CDISC Library Accounts: Request Review."
Pre-requisites
The account request being used for this process should be complete and account administrator approval obtained (if applicable) prior to beginning.
Definitions
List terms (abbreviations, acronyms, technical jargon) referenced in this Work Instruction useful at adding clarity. Put "Not applicable." if this section is not applicable.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| CDISC Library | 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). |
| Data Standards Browser (DSB) | A CDISC product that provides a 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 visits the DSB to view data standards metadata provided by the CDISC Library. |
| CDISC Jira | Jira is a software created by Atlassian for tracking bugs and issues. It is used by the CDISC Library Support Technician ("Support Technician") and the Azure Active Directory Administrator ("Azure Admin") to track CDISC Library accounts. |
| Azure Active Directory B2C Tenant | 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. |
