Overview of Defining Setup Users

One of your first tasks when setting up the application is the creation of users who can perform setup tasks.

Oracle creates an initial user for you when your environment is provisioned. This initial user is configured to perform security tasks, such as creating other users and granting additional privileges. As an initial user you can create users, known as setup users, to help with application setup. The setup user performs the tasks in implementation projects, sets up enterprise structures, creates application users, and administers security.

Use the Manage Users task in the Setup and Maintenance work area to create setup users. You can access this task in the Setup and Maintenance work area by selecting these options:

• Offering: Customer Data Management

• Functional Area: Users and Security

• Task: Manage Users

For information about creating setup users, see the Implementing Sales guide.
