Can I use descriptive flexfields in role mappings?

Yes, you can model the role mapping based on non typical criteria using the custom assignment descriptive flexfields.

These custom assignment attributes are hidden by default, but can be displayed by enabling the predefined profile option ORA_PER_ROLE_MAPPINGS_UI_DISPLAY_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES. Only global segments can be used in role mappings.

To enable this profile option:

  1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for and select the task Manage Administrator Profile Values.
  2. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for the profile option code ORA_PER_ROLE_MAPPINGS_UI_DISPLAY_CUSTOM_ATTRIBUTES.
  3. Set the profile value to Y.
  4. Click Save and Close.
