Administration Delegation
By default, Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management provides a single administration account, as configured in the SPLADMIN configuration setting, in the ENVIRON.INI configuration file, to manage the operational aspects of the product. This operating system user is the owner of the product when it is installed and is typically used for all operational aspects of the product.
Note: It is not possible to change the product administration account after installation. If this is desired, it is recommended to remove the product and reinstall using the alternative administration account.
Whilst the single administration account is enough for most needs it is possible to provide additional administration accounts to delegate administration tasks. To delegate administration the following must be configured:
• Any administration user must be a member of the operating system group allocated to the product as outlined in the SPLADMINGROUP configuration setting in the ENVIRON.INI configuration file.
• If you are using Oracle WebLogic in native mode, then the console will execute the native facilities to start and stop the product. It is recommended that the user allocated to Oracle WebLogic at installation time be a member of the operating system group outlined in SPLADMINGROUP configuration setting in the ENVIRON.INI configuration file.
Note: Customers using Oracle Enterprise Manager, with or without Application Management packs, should use the administration delegation and credential management capabilities of that product to manage administration delegations.
