Delegated Administration Overview

Delegated administration provides a mechanism for propagating WebLogic Administration Portal privileges down a hierarchy of roles. A Delegated Administration role is a classification of users based on user name, group membership or by the user's characteristics (or expressions), such as user profile values or time.

A role policy consists of a role name and role definition. For more information on role policies and security policies, see the Overview of Portal Security.

For more information about using delegated administration as a part of user management, see the User Management Guide on BEA's edocs page.
