You can access many workspace administration functions (such as Manage Service, Manage Users and Groups) from both the Administration menu and the Workspace Administration home page. For consistency, this section navigates the user to the Workspace Administration home page.
Application Express Accounts authentication is an built-in authentication method in which user accounts are created and managed in the Oracle Application Express user repository. User accounts are particularly useful if your application is using Application Express Accounts authentication.

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.
Workspace administrators can create new user accounts one at a time, or create multiple accounts in a single operation.
Create new user accounts from the Manage Users and Groups page.
To create a new user account:

An Instance administrator can configure these settings for an entire Oracle Application Express instance and define password complexity policies. See "About Authentication Controls," "About Strong Password Policies," and "Configuring Password Policies."
Create multiple new user accounts simultaneously.

Workspace administrators can create and manage Application Express users using groups. You can use groups for categorization and to manage privileges.
Administrators can create user groups to restrict access to various parts of an application.
Creating user groups enables administrators to:
Control access to application components.
Manage the privileges for a group of users. You can assign application groups to user groups to control user access.
User groups are not portable over different authentication schemes and are primarily useful when using Application Express Account Credentials authentication.
Edit user groups on the Groups page.
To edit an existing group assignment:
Add and remove user groups on the Edit User page.
To add or remove a user from a group:
