6.9.1 How Websheet Access Works
An administrator controls who can log in to a Websheet application by specifying one of the following authentication mechanisms:
-
Public access (no authentication)
-
Oracle Application Express Account
-
Single Sign-On Verification
-
LDAP Credentials Verification
-
Custom
If authentication is defined as Custom, an access control list manages the privileges of this application's users.
If authentication is Oracle Application Express Account, you must specify whether authorization is determined by the user role defined in the Application Express workspace, or if authorization is determined by the access control list. For all authentication types other than Oracle Application Express Accounts, authorization is always determined by the access control list.
Once a user logs in to an application, a user's assigned role determines access. User assigned roles include:
-
Reader - May view, but not edit content.
-
Contributor - May view and edit content.
-
Administrator - May view and edit content and edit Websheet Properties and manage the Access Control List.
