User Profile Options
Changeable options that affect the way your applications run.
User Profile Levels
User profile options exist at four different levels: Site, Application, Responsibility, and User levels. Oracle Applications treats user profile levels as a hierarchy, where User is the highest level of the hierarchy, followed by Responsibility, Application, and at the lowest level, Site. Higher-level option values override lower-level option values.
Site Level
Site is the lowest profile level. Site-level option values affect the way all applications run at a given installation site.
Application Level
Application is the profile level immediately above Site. Application-level option values affect the way a given application runs.
Responsibility Level
Responsibility is the profile level immediately above Application. Responsibility-level option values affect the way applications run for all users of a given responsibility.
User Level
User is the highest profile level and is immediately above Responsibility. User-level option values affect the way applications run for a given application user.
