Setting Up Public User Roles

To ensure that registered public users have appropriate system access, you must define which role is assigned to the user IDs that are created during the registration process.

When a public user registers, the Oracle system assigns a single role to the new user. Because the user is assigned just one role, access to different areas of the system is established through a role hierarchy. In this hierarchy, the various roles that provide access to different areas of the system are all children of a single parent role that you create.

During implementation, you created all custom roles required for system access, including those for the public user. Use the Public User Roles page to identify the role to be assigned during user registration.

Identifying the Single Role to be Assigned During Public User Registration

To identify the single role to be assigned during public user registration:

  1. Select Common Setup > Public User Roles.

  2. If the Public User Roles page already lists a role, delete it before you add the new role.

    The button for adding a role is hidden if a row already exists. You cannot modify the existing row, so you must instead delete it and then add a new one.

    To delete the existing row:

    1. Click the row to access the Role Details page.

    2. Click Delete.

  3. On the Public User Roles page, click Add.

  4. On the Role Details page, use the Role ID field to select the single role to be assigned during the public user registration process: PSC Custom Registered Public User (CUSTOM_PSC_REGISTERED_PUBLIC_USER).

    The Role ID is the only enterable field on the Role Details page. To select a role based on the descriptive role name rather than the numerical role ID, use the prompt button for the Role ID field and expand the Search Criteria section of the lookup page so you can search by role name.

    Note: If you can't find the PSC Custom Registered Public User role, you may not have created all of the necessary custom roles. For more information on setting up custom roles, see Creating Custom Roles for Oracle Permitting and Licensing.
