Options for Reviewing Predefined Roles

You need information about predefined roles so that you can identify which users need each role and whether to make any changes before provisioning roles. Use the Security Console to review this information.

The Security Console

On the Security Console, you can do these things:

  • Review the role hierarchy of any job, abstract, or duty role.

  • Extract the role hierarchy to a spreadsheet.

  • Identify the function security privileges and data security policies granted to a role.

  • Compare roles to identify differences.

Tip: Role codes of all predefined roles have the ORA_ prefix.

Reports

To see the the function security privileges and data security policies for a specified role, all roles, a specified user, or all users, you can run the User and Role Access Audit Report, which is in the XML format.
