User and Role-Provisioning Setup Options

User and role-provisioning options control the default management of some user account features. To set these options, perform the Manage Enterprise HCM Information task in the Workforce Structures functional area for your offering. You can edit these values and specify an effective start date.

User Account Creation

The User Account Creation option controls:

  • Whether user accounts are created automatically when you create a person, user, or party record

  • The automatic provisioning of roles to users at account creation

    Note: User accounts without roles are suspended automatically. Therefore, roles are provisioned automatically at account creation to avoid this automatic suspension.

The User Account Creation option may be of interest if:

  • Some workers don't need access to Oracle Applications Cloud.

  • Your existing provisioning infrastructure creates user accounts, and you plan to integrate it with Oracle Applications Cloud.

User Account Role Provisioning

After a user account exists, users both acquire and lose roles as specified by current role-provisioning rules. For example, managers may provision roles to users manually, and the termination process may remove roles from users automatically. You can control role provisioning by setting the User Account Role Provisioning option.

Note: Roles that you provision to users directly on the Security Console aren't affected by this option.

User Account Maintenance

The User Account Maintenance option controls whether user accounts are suspended and reactivated automatically. By default, a user's account is suspended automatically when the user is terminated and reactivated automatically if the user is rehired.

User Account Creation for Terminated Workers

The User Account Creation for Terminated Workers option controls whether user account requests for terminated workers are processed or suppressed. This option takes effect when you run the Send Pending LDAP Requests process.
