The following pages and wizards are used to create, set options and enter data for contexts in Oracle IRM:
Use these controls to create and delete contexts, and to refresh the list of contexts.
Access these controls by clicking the Contexts tab.
Contexts Page: General Controls, Left Panel
Element | Description |
---|---|
New Context (icon) | Select to open the New Context wizard. |
Gain management rights for all orphaned contexts (icon) | Visible only to domain managers and domain administrators. Select to check whether there are any orphaned contexts and, if there are, to acquire the ability to modify them. Orphaned contexts are those whose context manager has been removed from the identity store. Any orphaned contexts will be shown in the list of contexts, and you will be able to select them for modification. |
Refresh (icon) | Select to refresh the list of contexts on the left panel. You should do this to ensure that the list is showing any changes made by other users. |
Delete (icon) | Select to delete the context currently highlighted on the left panel. A dialog will ask you to confirm the deletion. You will not be allowed to delete the context if it still has users with assigned rights. |
Name (contexts list area) | Lists contexts created by the current user. If the current user is an inspector, also lists contexts created by any user. |
Contexts Page: General Controls, Right Panel
Element | Description |
---|---|
Revert | Select to cancel the changes made on this page. Does not work after the Apply button has been used. |
Apply | Select to apply the changes made on this page. Once selected, the changes cannot be reverted, except by making and applying new changes. |
Name | Displays the name of the context currently highlighted in the list in the left panel. You can change the name (and the accompanying description) on the Translations tab. |
Template | This is the name of the template from which this context was created. It cannot be changed. |
Allow Inspector | When the Allow Inspector checkbox is checked, users who have been made inspectors will be able to see this context in lists and in reports. |
Collapse Pane/Restore Pane control | Select to hide or show the header display area. |
Use this tab to create rights (by assigning roles to a user or group), to view the details of existing rights, to edit rights, and to delete rights.

Search Rights (icon) | Select to search for rights with names matching the text in the search box. If there are more than fifty rights matching the search criteria, only the most recent fifty are shown. You will need to refine the search criteria to see the remaining rights.
If the search box contains no text, selecting this icon will list the fifty most recent rights. |
Type | This column shows a user icon if the right is for a user. It shows a group icon if the right is for a group. A cross icon means that the type is unknown because the user or group cannot be found in the identity store. |
Name | This column shows name information for the user or group holding the right. The entry "Not found" means that the name cannot be found in the identity store. |
Role | This column shows the role that was assigned to the user or group to create the right. |

Use this dialog to associate the current context with other existing contexts. This will establish the latter as trusted contexts, which are contexts to which sealed content can be exported.
Open the dialog by clicking the New Trusted Context icon on the Trusted Contexts tab of the Contexts page.
Element | Description |
---|---|
Available | This box shows contexts that can be assigned as trusted contexts for the current context. Highlight the contexts in this box that you want to move to the Selected box. |
Move, Move All, Remove, Remove All | Use these controls to move context names between the Available and Selected boxes. The Move control and the Remove control will become available only when individual contexts are selected and will affect only those contexts. |
Selected | All contexts whose names are listed in this box will become trusted contexts when the OK button is clicked. The presence or absence of check marks does not have any effect on this. |
Details | This display area shows the details of any context individually selected in the Available or Selected boxes. |
Use this wizard to create a new context, based on an existing context template. Domain administrators can create context templates. Domain administrators and domain managers can create contexts.
Open the wizard by clicking the New Context icon on the left panel of the Contexts page.
Use this page to name and describe a new context.
This page opens by default as the first page of the New Context wizard. It can also be opened by selecting the General/Settings node in the wizard header.
Element | Description |
---|---|
Template | Choose one of the available context templates from this drop-down list. Only active context templates are shown. You must base the new context on one of the available context templates. (Context templates can be created by domain administrators using the Context Templates page.) |
Name
Description |
Enter a name and description for the new context.
The name will be seen by users of Oracle IRM Desktop when they seal documents to this context, so the name should reflect the purpose of the context. You should enter the name and description in the default language. The default language is shown against Language on this wizard page. The default language was set up on the Control Console, and is the language that is used in locales for which no specific translation has been provided. You will be able to provide names and descriptions in other languages on the Translations page of this wizard, if multiple language support has been set up on the Control Console. |
Language | Shows which language has been set on the Control Console as the default language. |
Make Context Visible To Inspectors | This is normally checked. Contexts should be made visible to inspectors. Domain administrators that are also inspectors (as is recommended) will then be able to see all contexts that have been created, and be able to judge the effects of changing a context template.
You should only consider making the context not visible to inspectors if the context relates to highly sensitive matters. If you make a context not visible to inspectors, there is a danger that alterations to the context template on which it is based will have unintended consequences. |
Use this page to assign one or more users to the context, making them context managers of this context. Context managers assign roles to users and are usually business owners.
You do not have to add yourself as a context manager: the user creating the context is automatically made a context manager.
This page opens as the second page of the New Context wizard. It can also be opened by selecting the Managers node in the wizard header.
Element | Description |
---|---|
Search
Search Users (icon) |

Available Users | This box shows users that can be assigned as context managers. If the list is empty, populate it using the Search feature (described above). Highlight the users in this box that you want to move to the Selected Users box. |
Move, Move All, Remove, Remove All | Use these controls to move user names between the Available Users and the Selected Users boxes. The Move control and the Remove control will affect only those users that have a check mark against them. |
Selected Users | Users whose names are listed in this box will become context managers for this context when the wizard is completed.
The presence or absence of check marks does not have any effect on this. The user who created the context will become a context manager even if his name is not listed in this box. |
Details | This display area shows the details of any user individually selected in the Available Users or Selected Users boxes. |
Use this page to provide names and descriptions of the new context in alternative languages (that is, alternative to the default language).
