Shared Services Roles

All Shared Services roles are power roles. Typically, these roles are granted to power users who are involved in administering Shared Services and other EPM System products.

RoleDescription
Administrator

Shared Services Administrator role comprises these roles:

  • Create Integrations

  • Directory Manager

  • LCM Administrator

  • Manage Taskflows

  • Run Taskflows

  • Project Manager

  • Run Integrations

Provides control over all products that integrate with Shared Services. This is the most powerful EPM System role and should, therefore, be assigned sparingly. Administrators can perform all administrative tasks in Shared Services Console and can provision themselves.

This role grants broad access to all applications registered with Shared Services. The Administrator role is, by default, assigned to the admin Native Directory user, who is the only user available after you deploy Shared Services.

Create IntegrationsCreates Shared Services data integrations (the process of moving data between applications) using a wizard
Directory Manager

Creates and manages users and groups within Native Directory

Granting Directory Manager and Provisioning Manager roles to one user allows the user to gain superior roles. Oracle recommends that you do not assign the Directory Manger role to users who have been assigned the Provisioning Manager role.

LCM Administrator

This role comprises these roles:

  • Directory Manager

  • Manage Taskflows

  • Run Taskflows

  • Project Manager

  • Provisioning Manager

Runs Lifecycle Management to promote artifacts or data across product environments and operating systems

In addition to the Provisioning Manager role, the LCM Administrator role comprises Directory Manager and Project Manager roles of Shared Services.
