Task and Feature Comparison by User Role
Depending on their user roles, Oracle Content and Experience Cloud users can perform different tasks and access different features.
Visitors can view certain sites, use public links, and view Oracle Content and Experience Cloud content embedded in apps or websites. Anonymous users (users who aren’t signed in) are counted as visitors. See Change Site Security in Creating Experiences with Oracle Content and Experience Cloud. If you have a Universal Credits subscription, a visitor session is limited to a certain number of API calls and a certain amount of data transfer; see Understand Active Users per Hour. If you have a non-metered subscription, visitor activity counts towards your daily visitor sessions; see Understand Visitor Sessions.
Any users that need to actually use Oracle Content and Experience Cloud must be assigned the standard user or enterprise user role. If you purchased enterprise users, you can assign the Oracle Content and Experience Cloud Enterprise User role to users to provide them access to more functionality. Your Oracle Content and Experience Cloud instance can have a mixture of standard and enterprise users to fit the needs of your company.
