Oracle Application Express users are divided into four roles.
To access the Oracle Application Express development environment, users sign in to a shared work area called a workspace. Users are divided into the following primary roles:
End users do not have access to development or administrative capabilities. End cannot sign into a workspace and create applications. End users can only run existing database or Websheet applications.
Developers are users who create and edit applications, monitor workspace activity, and view dashboards.
Workspace administrators are users who perform administrator tasks specific to a workspace such as managing user accounts, monitoring workspace activity, and viewing log files.
Instance administrators are superusers that manage an entire hosted instance using the Application Express Administration Services application. Instance administrators manage workspace provisioning, configure features and instance settings, and manage security.
