About Predefined Roles

Predefined roles are assigned by the Identity Domain Administrator in My Services, and they provide users access to the service environment. See Managing Users and Roles in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.

There are four predefined roles in Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management:

• Service Administrator: Performs all functional activities in an environment. This role should be granted to functional experts who need to create and administer Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management application and service components.

• Power User: Drives the model development and execution process.. This role grants high-level access to several functional areas within an environment and should be granted to the lead modelers and integrators working with the model, and business users in charge of a region who need to control the calculation process. Power Users can perform all the activities that a User can perform. Additionally, a Power User can perform these tasks:

  • Creates ad hoc grids and writes back into ad hoc grids and loads data using Data Integration

  • Creates, clears, and copies POV data

  • Creates and runs integrations

  • Creates models

  • Creates and edits profit curve

• User: Enters data where user input is requested, runs analytical tools and reports, and designs rules and calculations. Users can perform all the tasks that Viewers can perform. A User can perform these additional operations:

  • Performs ad hoc functions, but cannot write back into ad hoc grids or load data using Data Integration

  • Performs drill through

  • Creates, modifies, and deletes rules

  • Performs mass edits of rules

  • Runs rule balancing

  • Runs validations

  • Runs calculations, views and deletes calculation history

• Viewer: Views and analyzes data but does not have write access. Specifically, a Viewer performs these operations:

  • Runs profit curves

  • Runs trace allocations

  • View models

For details on what access each predefined role grants, see Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.

Predefined roles are hierarchical. Access granted through lower-level roles is inherited by higher-level roles. For example, Service Administrators, in addition to the access that only they have, inherit the access granted through Power User, User, and Viewer roles.

The following table lists the functional areas in the service that can be accessed by each predefined role. Service Administrators can access all functional areas in the service.
