## 21.1.1 About Oracle APEX Administrator Roles

Oracle APEX includes two different types of administrators: Workspace administrators and Instance administrators.

To access the APEX development environment, users sign in to a shared work area called a workspace. Workspace administrators are users who perform administrator tasks specific to a workspace such as managing user accounts, monitoring workspace activity, and viewing log files. Instance administrators are superusers that manage an entire hosted instance using the APEX Administration Services application.

Tip:

The role of Instance administrator is not available in Oracle Database Cloud Service (Database Schema).
