Provisioning Users and Groups

Provisioning is the process of granting EPM System roles to users and groups. Provisioning is performed by a Provisioning Managers or Shared Services Administrators by assigning EPM System application roles to a user or group. See Provisioning (Role-based Authorization).

Note:

Provisioning managers cannot modify their own provisioning data.

Tip:

To facilitate administration, Oracle recommends that you provision groups rather than users and that you use aggregated roles.

  To provision users or groups:

  1. Launch Shared Services Console. See Launching Shared Services Console.

  2. Find and select users or groups to provision.

    See Searching for Users, Groups, Roles, and Delegated Lists.

  3. Select Administration and then Provision.

  4. Optional: Select a view.

    Roles can be displayed in a hierarchy (tree) or a list. You must drill down the hierarchy to display available roles. The list view lists available roles but does not show their hierarchy.

  5. Select roles and click Add.

  6. Click Save.

  7. Click OK.
