User Setup Options

There are a number of different options you can use to control default functionality when users are created in the application. Review the user setup options described here and make any configuration changes you want before you start creating users.

User Name and Password Notifications

By default, users automatically receive an email notification containing their sign-in details when their user account is created. Oracle provides sample notifications but you can edit the text of the email notifications, create your own notifications, or suppress email notifications altogether.

Password Policy

During implementation, you set the password policy for the enterprise. For example, you can configure how complex passwords must be, when they expire, and when a user is notified that a password is about to expire. By default, the application requires passwords with eight letters and one number but you may want stronger passwords.

Default User Name Format

You can select the default format used to generate user names for users in cases where a user name isn't specified. Unless you specify otherwise, the default format is email address.

You can review user setup options by navigating to the Administration tab of the Security Console. For detailed information about configuring each of these options, see the chapter Setting Up Applications Security.
