Overview of Reviewing Roles

This chapter describes how you can use the Security Console to review and analyze role information. You perform these tasks from the Roles and Analytics tabs of the Security Console.

You can perform these tasks from the Roles tab:

• Visualize role hierarchies and role assignments to users.

• Review Navigator menus available to roles or users, identifying roles that grant access to Navigator items and the privileges required for that access.

• Compare roles.

• Copy roles, create roles, and edit custom job, abstract, and duty roles.

  For information about copying roles and creating roles, see the chapter Creating Job, Abstract, and Duty Roles.

From the Analytics tab, you can perform these tasks:

• Review statistics concerning role categories, the roles belonging to each category, and the components of each role.

• View the data security policies, roles, and users associated with each database resource.

Note: You can also use the Security Dashboard to get an overview of the security roles and how they're provisioned in your environment. For information, see the topic describing the Security Dashboard in this chapter.
