2.7 Managing Users in a Workspace
Create new user accounts, manage existing user accounts, and change user passwords.
Tip:
You can access many workspace administration functions (such as Manage Service, Manage Users, and Groups) from both the Administration menu and the Workspace Administration home page. For consistency, this section navigates the user to the Workspace Administration home page.- About Oracle APEX Accounts Authentication
Oracle APEX Accounts authentication is a built-in authentication method in which user accounts are created and managed in the APEX user repository. User accounts are particularly useful if your application is using Oracle APEX Accounts authentication. - About Oracle APEX User Roles

2.7.2 About Oracle APEX User Roles
APEX users are divided into four roles.
To access the APEX development environment, users sign in to a shared work area called a workspace. Users are divided into the following primary roles:
- End users do not have access to development or administrative capabilities. End users cannot sign in to a workspace and create applications. End users can only run existing applications.
- Developers are users who create and edit applications, monitor workspace activity, and view dashboards.
- 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. Instance administrators create workspaces, configure features and instance settings, and manage security.

Administrators can create user groups to restrict access to various parts of an application.
Creating user groups enables administrators to:
- Control access to application components.
- Manage the privileges for a group of users. You can assign application groups to user groups to control user access.
User groups are not portable over different authentication schemes and are primarily useful when using APEX Account Credentials authentication.
