About Oracle Advanced Support Platform Users

Oracle Advanced Support Platform supports the following users:

  • A customer user is an individual in the customer organization who has been added to Oracle Advanced Support Platform.

  • A customer user administrator (CUA) is an optional additional assignment to a customer user, giving the ability to grant privileges to other Oracle Advanced Support Platform users in their customer organization.

  • A service provider user is an Oracle user. Service provider users who have been granted access to a customer or any of the customer resources, such as groups, contracts, or contract line items, can view or manage those resources according to the level of access. For example, service provider users who have been granted access to at least one contract line item for the customer organization can view or manage that contract line item. Service providers can invite one or more customer users to become the CUA for the customer organization.

Note:

The terms service provider and provider user are also used to denote a service provider user.
