To view roles:You can create roles for the following objects:
Catalog
A catalog role assigned to a user determines which actions that user can perform on items in a catalog.
Catalog Category
A catalog category role assigned to a user determines which actions that user can perform on items in a catalog category.
Change
The change role assigned to a user for a change object (for example, issue, change request, change order) determines which actions that user can perform on the change object. For example, a user with an Approver role on a change request is granted the View Basic Change Information and Edit/Delete Change privileges.
Group
A group role assigned to a user for a group determines which actions that user can perform on the group.
Item
The item role assigned to a user for an item determines which actions that user can perform on the item. You can also inherit item privileges assigned at the catalog, catalog category, and item catalog category levels. For example, a user with the seeded Catalog Category User role on the Motherboard catalog category is granted the "Create Item of this Catalog Category" privilege, which enables him or her to create Motherboard items.
Item Catalog Category
The item catalog category role assigned to a user determines which actions that user can perform on items in a specific item catalog category.
Additional Information: In order to administer roles, a system administrator must grant you a role at the Oracle Applications user level. This role is granted by default in seeded responsibilities that include the Role submenu. The Role submenu, which includes the Roles link, is available from the Development Manager and Development Engineer responsibilities, as well as others.
If you cannot access the Roles link from your responsibility or if you cannot view, create, or update roles, then contact your system administrator. For more information, see:
Excluding functions in the Menu Exclusions tab, Responsibilities Window.
