Overview of User Account Preference Setup

Review the settings for user name format and password strength and set up notifications before you create your first users. By default, the application uses the e-mail address to create user names and requires passwords with eight letters and one number.

You may want shorter user names and stronger passwords. You may also want to create your own versions of the notifications users receive regarding their accounts. Oracle provides sample notifications, but they include Oracle-specific language.

The Security Console you use for all these tasks includes many advanced features. Some don't even apply to your customer data management application. So, limit your use of the Security Console to the tasks listed here. You can open them from the implementation project.
