Oracle Fusion Applications Security Console

The Oracle Fusion Applications Security Console is an easy-to-use administrative work area where you perform most security-management tasks. This topic introduces the Security Console and describes how to access it.

Security Console Functions

Use the Security Console to:

• Review role hierarchies and role analytics.

  Note: You can review HCM data roles on the Security Console. However, you must manage them on the Manage Data Roles and Security Profiles page.

• Create and manage custom job, abstract, and duty roles.

• Review the roles assigned to users.

• Create and manage implementation users and their roles.

• Compare roles.

• Simulate the Navigator for a user or role.

• Create and manage user categories.

• Manage the default format of user names and the password policy for each user category.

• Manage notifications for user-lifecycle events, such as password expiration, for each user category.

• Manage PGP and X.509 certificates for data encryption and decryption.

• Set up federation, and synchronize user and role information between Oracle Fusion Applications Security and Microsoft Active Directory, if appropriate.

You must have the IT Security Manager job role to access the Security Console. You open the Security Console by selecting the Security Console work area. These tasks, performed in the Setup and Maintenance work area, also open the Security Console:

• Create Implementation Users
