Setting Up a Proxy Role and User for Interactive Voice Response

Set up a proxy user in the Oracle Security Console to give your Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system access to Oracle Permitting and Licensing.

The IVR system accesses permit information via REST, using the proxy user credentials. During a call, a public user provides the IVR system with both a permit number and their personal IVR code. The IVR system sends that code along with any request to access the permit information in the Oracle Permitting and Licensing system. Oracle Permitting and Licensing verifies that the code matches the IVR code that’s stored in the permit owner’s account. If the code matches, the request is honored.

In this procedure you will use the Security Console to:

  1. Create a custom role for the IVR access.

  2. Assign a delivered duty role to the custom role.

  3. Create the IVR proxy user.

  4. Assign the custom IVR role to the IVR proxy user.
