Setting Up Users for Oracle Mobile Applications

System administrators set up Oracle Inspector and Oracle Municipal Code Officer with profiles and security before they can implement the application on their mobile devices.

Before an inspector or agency staff member can install, configure, and use the mobile application, you must do the following:

  • Create an agency staff profile for each user.

  • Configure security for each user.

Tip: If your agency is using Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) as your identity provider (IdP), you must send your field officers an email containing the Mobile Application Activation link from the Agency Mobile Setup page.For information on sending notifications, see Managing Mobile Application Activation.
Tip: Oracle recommends that agencies implement mobile device management (MDM) software to protect employees' mobile devices from security threats, such as malware and theft.

Creating an Agency Staff Profile

Make sure that each user has an agency staff profile to log into the mobile application. Because the application package configuration is secure, agency staff must enter their login credentials before the environment begins to download.

For more information about creating agency staff profiles, see the documentation for Managing Agency Staff Profiles.

Configuring Security

Agency administrators must explicitly grant mobile application access to the necessary agency user roles. Users can open the application but need the proper credentials. Make sure the appropriate users have the following role assigned for the specific application they are using:
