In Oracle Identity Manager, the following types of roles are available:
Enterprise roles: These are roles that users (depending on the permissions granted) can create, modify, or delete in Oracle Identity Manager and request for the roles by using the access catalog.
Admin roles: These are predefined roles in Oracle Identity Manager that have a one-to-one mapping with the application roles defined in Oracle Entitlement Server. Admin roles are not visible to the end users. Therefore, admin roles cannot be requested. However, you can create and manage admin roles, as described in " Managing Administration Roles".
Table 16-1 shows the list of default roles in Oracle Identity Manager.
Note: If you upgrade from Oracle Identity Manager 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), then the default roles of 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) will be available. |
