Overview of Role-Based Access to Data and Pages

Configure the access to application and data through role groups, page groups, and data profiles.

Create groups of roles or pages, and use these groups to assign access permissions to application pages. By doing so, you ensure these things:

• You restrict the access of every user to only those pages that are appropriate for their role.

• You minimize the effort in assigning default page permissions for pages because you use groups to do bulk assignments.

You can create role groups and page groups. At any time, you can add or remove roles or pages to and from groups. You can also delete these groups. Deleting the groups doesn't affect the page access permissions for users. Page-level data access is governed by user profiles, which are mapped to individual roles, and, in turn, mapped to pages.
