Manage Delegation Preferences

In Oracle Access Governance you can set up and manage preferences.

Users can delegate tasks/activities using the Oracle Access Governance. You can use the My Preferences setting to assign tasks/activities to another user or identity collection. You can choose when to start this delegation process and also specify the duration of the delegation. In Oracle Access Governance, you can delegate:

  • Access Reviews: Some other user or identity collection can perform access reviews on your behalf

Note:

You can access the My Preferences settings by clicking the user name located at the top-right corner of the Oracle Access Governance landing page.
You may want to delegate approvals or access reviews for the following reasons:
