What groups are created by Oracle Portal?

During installation, Oracle Portal creates some default users and groups. For example, when the Oracle DBA (or someone with the password to the SYS account) installs Oracle Portal, a portal administrator account is created. If Oracle Portal is installed in a schema named PORTAL30, then the administrator account created by default is named PORTAL30_ADMIN. That administrator can then designate other users as portal administrators, as required.

Here are the default groups, and the users assigned to them:
