Administrative Setup

The administrative setup involves defining users, their roles, and the associated permissions.

The user setup process begins in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (OCI IAM). The Administration Guide for the GA template application provides step-by-step instructions for navigating OCI IAM. Instructions are also included for the bulk upload of users and user roles.

Users must also be given application privileges. Application privileges are granted by first adding the user to the application. This process is defined in the User Administration chapter of the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Cloud Edition Administration Guide.

A user is assigned a user role. User roles are a convenient way to group users who perform similar job functions and are granted the same application permissions. User role permissions can be set for individual positions, such as granting access to specific departments or classes, and workbooks. Individual users can also be granted or denied access to positions and workbooks. In addition, measure access can be overridden for users to make them read-only or deny access completely. The Security Administration Workbook section of the Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Cloud Edition Administration Guide provides a detailed explanation of how these permissions interact and how to use the Security Administration Workbook to grant or deny permissions.

Finally, included in security administration are settings for user workbook limits and session limits. Workbook limits are a helpful tool to limit space consumption by any single user. Domain session and concurrent user session limits can be helpful to ensure that users can perform their tasks within a reasonable time frame where system demands might be higher than normal.
