A user profile, defined in the Internal Users interface of the Business Control Center. When you log into the application (see below), you are prompted to enter a user name and password. The values to enter are the login name and password specified in your user profile. A default profile is also provided – see Starting the Business Control Center.

An ATG Portal role, for example 100001-member. This role is required for access to the Business Control Center framework. ATG Portal roles are assigned through the Internal Users interface. In this case, the appropriate roles are located by default in Global Roles > Root Folder > Bizui. If you have only this role, you have access to the Users options in the Business Control Center but not to any other option on the Home page. For more information on assigning roles, see Creating Roles.

An ATG Content Administration role, for example EPub-User or EPub-Manager. These are also added to your user profile through the Internal Users interface in the Business Control Center. Although you do not need one of these roles to start the Business Control Center, you do need one to access all ATG Content Administration features, which include projects. Because the targeting features you work with in the Business Control Center use projects, you need this role to be able to work with them. If you do not have this role, the Targeting and Segmentation option on the Home page does not appear.

A Web browser. The Business Control Center supports various browsers and operating systems. For up-to-date information, see the Oracle ATG Commerce Supported Environments Matrix document in the My Oracle Support knowledge base at https://support.oracle.com/.
