You can optionally give users access to the Advanced Worklist, Personal Worklist, Notification Search, and Workflow Mailer URL Access Tester pages from any responsibility you choose. To make a page available from a particular responsibility, add the appropriate function to the menu associated with that responsibility. Alternatively, for the Workflow Mailer URL Access Tester page, you can add the menu containing its function to a top-level menu for a responsibility. After updating the menu for the responsibility, you can assign the responsibility to your users. See: Overview of Function Security and Overview of Menus and Function Security.
The following table shows the functions that correspond to each page.

The following table shows the menu that corresponds to the Workflow Mailer URL Access Tester page.
Optional Page Menu

The Advanced Worklist is seeded on the menu for the Workflow User Web Applications responsibility by default. You can also add this function to other responsibilities from which you want users to access notifications.
The Personal Worklist is an optional feature that is not seeded on any Oracle Workflow menu. If you want users to access this version of the Worklist, you must first add the Personal Worklist function to the menu for a responsibility assigned to those users.
If you add the Personal Worklist, you can use worklist flexfields to define specialized worklist views that display information specific to particular types of notifications. If you define a securing function for a view, add the securing function to the same menu as the Personal Worklist function. Your specialized worklist view will appear in the list of views only when users access the Personal Worklist from that responsibility. See: Defining Specialized Worklist Views with Worklist Flexfields.
Note: If you have Oracle Application Framework set up in Oracle JDeveloper for custom development, you can also embed the Personal Worklist as a region in an Oracle Application Framework page. In this way you can provide users access to the worklist from within your own application. See: Embedding the Personal Worklist in an Oracle Application Framework Page
The Notification Search page is seeded on the menu for the Workflow Administrator Web Applications responsibility by default. You can also add this function to other responsibilities from which you want users to be able to search for notifications. For example, if you want users with the Workflow User Web Applications responsibility to have access to the Notification Search page, you can add this function to the FND_WFUSER (Workflow User) menu with a prompt such as Notification Search.
A user must have workflow administrator privileges to access other users' notifications in the Notification Search page. If a user does not have administrator privileges, that user can only search for and access his or her own notifications. Workflow administrator privileges are assigned in the Workflow Configuration page. See: Setting Global User Preferences.
Note: Ensure that you have assigned workflow administrator privileges only to appropriate users. If the Workflow System Administrator field in the Workflow Configuration page is set to *, granting administrator privileges to all users, then any user with a responsibility that includes the Notification Search page can search for and access other users' notifications.
The Workflow Mailer URL Access Tester page is an optional feature that is not seeded on the menu for any Oracle Workflow responsibility. If you want users to access this page, you must first add either the Workflow Mailer URL Access Test Function or the Workflow Mailer URL Access Test Menu to the menu for a responsibility assigned to those users.
