3.5.1 About Configuring Workspace Provisioning

The Instance administrator determines the amount of automation when provisioning (or creating) a workspace.

To determine how provisioning works, an Instance Administrator selects one of the following Provisioning Methods on the Instance Settings page:

  • Manual - An Instance administrator creates new workspaces and notifies the Workspace administrator regarding the Sign In credentials.

  • Request - Users request a workspace. Once an administrator approves the request, the user receives an email containing an email verification link. After the user clicks the email verification link, the workspace is created.

  • Automatic - Works similar to Request except requests are automatically approved with no administrator review required.

To enable users to request a workspace using a link on the Sign In page, the Instance administrator must choose either the Request or Automatic Provisioning Method. If the Provisioning Method is set to Manual, no link appears on the Sign In page.

Note:

An instance administrator must configure instance-level email in order for Oracle APEX to send the emails required for the Request or Automatic Provisioning Methods.
