In Oracle E-Business Suite, a role represents a job function that confers the privileges required to perform that job. Roles can be defined to determine what applications (responsibilities) as well as what data and functions within those applications users can access. In the Oracle User Management Overview section, see Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
Log on as a user that is assigned the Security Administrator role (typically as sysadmin), select the User Management responsibility in the navigator and then click the Roles & Role Inheritance subtab.
Click the Create Role button.
Enter the required information to configure your role and optionally continue to configure it by accessing the following:
Permissions. Use this tab to assign permissions to your role.
Delegated Administration Setup Using the Security Wizard
Information in this section only applies to delegated administration roles in the context of the Oracle User Management application.
User Administration. Enables you to determine the set of users that can be managed by administrators to whom your role is assigned. The administrator can assign or revoke user accounts and roles for the users you specify here.
Organization Administration. Enables you to determine the external organizations that can be viewed in Oracle User Management by administrators to whom your role is assigned.
Role Administration. Enables you to determine which roles the administrator can assign to or revoke from the set of users specified in the User Administration section.
Click Save or Apply to save your changes.
Optionally update the role by performing the following:
Locate the role you want to modify by using the Search fields or by expanding the appropriate nodes in the Role Inheritance Hierarchy menu.
Click the Update icon and modify the role as required.
The Save button saves your changes and continues to display them in the current page. The Apply button saves your changes and returns to the previous page. You can optionally organize your roles using role categories during the process of creating and updating roles, otherwise they will be stored under the "Miscellaneous" role category by default. For more information, see role categories. You can also define any required subordinate roles or superior roles through role inheritance hierarchies.
