User Categories
You can categorize and segregate users based on the various functional and operational requirements. A user category provides you with an option to group a set of users such that the specified settings apply to everyone in that group.
Typical scenarios in which you may want to group users are:
-
Users belong to different organizations within an enterprise and each organization follows a different user management policy.
-
Practices related to resetting passwords are not uniform across users.
-
Users have different preferences in receiving automated notifications for various tasks they perform in the application.
On the Security Console page, click the User Category tab. You can perform the following tasks:
-
Segregate users into categories
-
Specify Next URL
-
Enable notifications
Segregate Users into Categories
Create user categories and add existing users to them. All existing users are automatically assigned to the Default user category unless otherwise specified. You may create more categories depending upon your requirement and assign users to those categories.
Specify Next URL
Specify a URL to redirect your users to a website or an application instead of going back to the Sign In page, whenever they reset their password. For example, a user places a password reset request and receives an Email for resetting the password. After the new password is authenticated, the user can be directed to a website or application. If nothing is specified, the user is directed to Oracle Applications Cloud Sign In page. You can specify only one URL per user category.
