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 Requirements Guide for Network Requirements and for various Hardware devices used to access the Oracle Warehouse Management (WMS) 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 configured at the company level and are granted access to one or more facilities. One facility/company will be the default for every user. Users belong to one of the pre-defined roles and can belong to one or more groups. The pre-defined roles are roles like Administrator, Management, Supervisor, or Employee.
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.
Some roles have pre-defined permissions automatically granted. An Administrator has access to any permission available in the system without being explicitly granted it. An Administrator will also have automatic access to all child companies. A Management role user has some limited permissions for facility-level entities. Other roles only have read access to the screens that they are given access to. Any additional permissions must be granted by assigning them to a group to which those permissions have been granted.
Most users should be assigned to the role Employee and then added to specific groups with specific permissions they need to use to perform their job. This ensures that no one has more access than is needed to perform their job. The role of Administrator should be limited to only those that need access to everything.
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 for specific screens. Check the diagram below to understand the User Accessibility flow:
Group Permissions
Group Permissions allow you to access privileges or rules that enable/disable a specific feature in the WMS Web UI. Customers can define User accessibility group permissions. Please refer to the Appendix > Group Permissions section for more details.
