Create a New Delegated Administration Role

Delegated Administration roles allow you to determine portal resources that an administrator may access and what administrators may do to those resources. You create administrative roles so that the access rights and capabilities in the administration portal map correctly to the users who need varying degrees of access.

The WebLogic Administration Portal comes with predefined administrators, but you can create an unlimited number of additional administrative roles to which you can map an unlimited number and variety of users. Role creation can take place at any time: You can create the roles before the portals are assembled, while assembling a portal in an interactive design fashion, or after the portal has been assembled.

To create a new Delegated Administration role:

1. In the Delegated Administration Resource tree, select the parent role for which you want to create a new child role
2. Right click, and select Add New Role (or click the Add New Role icon in the top right toolbar).
3. Enter the name of the new role in the pop-up window, and click OK.
4. Now you are ready to add users and expression your new role.
