Preparing for Application Users

During implementation, you prepare your Oracle Applications Cloud service for application users. Decisions made during this phase determine how you manage users by default. Most of these decisions can be overridden.

For efficient user management, you're recommended to configure your environment to both reflect enterprise policy and support most or all users.

The following table lists some key decisions and tasks that are explained in this chapter.

Decision or Task	Topic
Whether user accounts are created automatically for application users	User Account Creation Option
How role provisioningis managed	User Account Role Provisioning Option
Whether user accounts are maintained automatically	User Account Maintenance Option
Whether user accounts are created for terminated workers that you load in bulk	User Account Creation for Terminated Workers Option
Ensuring that the Employee abstract role is provisioned automatically	Provisioning Abstract Roles to Users Automatically

Some decisions affecting application users were made when the Security Console was set up. These decisions include:

• How user names are formed by default

• How passwords are formed and when they expire

• How users are notified of their sign-in details and password events, such as expiration warnings

You may want to review these settings for each user category on the Security Console before creating application users.
