Access Control Lists/Functional Security

Oracle Cloud WMS allows Super Users to grant/revoke functional access to business processes. A detailed list of these ACL/Functional Security Overview is available in the appendix.

Hardware Access

See the Technical Requirement Guide for Network Requirements and for various Hardware devices used to access the Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud application or devices that are accessed by the application. Customers IT department is responsible for setting up and configuring the hardware devices for access.

User Access

Users are typically configured at company level and are granted access to one or more facilities. One facility/company will be default for every user. They are employees of the warehouse with roles like Administrator, Employee, Supervisor, Guard and Management as discussed in the above sections in the Oracle WMS Cloud Web UI. On the other hand, Groups are logical entities that contain permissions and menu. ‘Permissions’ can be defined as access privileges or rules that enable/disable a specific feature in the application and ‘Menu’ is nothing but grouping of the screens. A group can have multiple permissions enabled under it.

User Accessibility Control in Oracle WMS Cloud Service Web UI is defined through User Roles and mainly through the Groups to which they are Assigned. Important point to consider is that every user will have only one group configured as user's default group, however, can have one or more groups mapped to it. Whenever a user is logged in, privileges from the default configured group will be loaded.

When a User is assigned to a Group, the accessibility control for that user is created by the predefined group permissions and menu access privileges to specific screens. Check the diagram below to understand the User Accessibility flow:

User access
Note: If we set up the menus and groups at the Parent company level, Assigning Groups to the child company User will not be impacted (i.e., system will show default group Screens.)

Group Permissions

Group Permissions allow you to access privileges or rules that enable/disable a specific feature in the Oracle WMS Cloud Web UI. Customers can define User accessibility group permissions. Please refer to Appendix > Group Permissions section for more details.

Note: As the Group Permissions screen in the Oracle WMS Cloud Web UI is frequently updated, check the Group Permissions Document on My Oracle Support portal every release for any new permissions that have been added.
