Overview of Setup User Creation

As the initial user created by Oracle, you can perform security tasks, such as creating other users and granting setup permissions.

After you have signed in for the first time, you're ready to create any other users you need to help you with the application setup. You can also grant yourself the additional setup permissions you need to complete the setup tasks covered in this guide.

Here is a list of the setup tasks to create setup users. You can access these tasks from the Create Setup Users folder in your implementation project.
