Application Roles in an Oracle Content Management Instance with a Non-Metered Subscription

The application roles in an Oracle Content Management instance with a non-metered subscription are slightly different than in an Oracle Content Management instance with a Universal Credits subscription.

The roles for a Universal Credits subscription are described in Application Roles. The following table describes the application roles for an Oracle Content Management instance with a non-metered subscription.

Application Role (application role name in bold) Access and Actions Notes
Account administrator Account administrators use the My Account application to perform the following actions:
  • Activate and create identity domains.
  • Activate a service.
  • Monitor and manage services across all identity domains and data centers.
  • Create identity domain administrators and other account administrators.

See Manage Your Oracle Cloud Service in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.

Account administrators are set up when the account is created. They use their Oracle account to sign in to Oracle Cloud and access My Account. If you need account administrator access and don’t have it, contact your primary account administrator. See Learn About Cloud Account Roles in Getting Started with Oracle Cloud.

If you want account administrators to use Oracle Content Management and modify the service configuration, they must also be assigned the standard user or enterprise user role.
