Native Directory, by default, contains the admin user account. The password of this account is defined in EPM System Configurator during configuration. Using this account, you can perform all Native Directory and Shared Services administration tasks.
All EPM System users, whether defined in Native Directory or in an external user directory, belong to the WORLD group, the only default Native Directory group. WORLD is a logical group. All Shared Services users inherit any role assigned to this group. A user gets the sum of all permissions assigned directly to that user as well as those assigned to the user's groups (including the WORLD group).
If Shared Services is deployed in delegated mode, the WORLD group contains groups as well as users. If the delegated list of a user contains the WORLD group, then the user can retrieve all users and groups during searches.
