2 Adding Users/Groups to Pre-defined Roles

User roles determine the tasks or activities that a user can perform in the application. Users exist individually or in groups.

Before you can add users/groups to pre-defined roles, you need to:
  1. Create Users. See http://docs.oracle.com/html/E24401_02/taskhelp/security/DefineUsers.html for detailed instructions.

  2. Associate Users with Groups. See http://docs.oracle.com/html/E24401_02/taskhelp/security/ManageUsersAndGroups.html for detailed instructions.

  3. Create Groups. See http://docs.oracle.com/html/E24401_02/taskhelp/security/DefineGroups.html for detailed information.

Oracle Real-Time Integration Business Insight provides six pre-defined roles along with the installation. A Role is the group of users designed at the enterprise level and typically used to assign a privilege or permission. A role can also contain other roles as members. Application role is the set of privileges or permissions a user or a group of users has within the application.

If you need to edit/create roles, you must have Admin access to the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Console.

To add/delete users or groups associated with an existing role:
