Outside of the DBA, the portal administrators have the highest level of privileges in Oracle Portal. They can view and modify anything in Oracle Portal, even folders, pages, and applications marked private. (The only exception is groups: although portal admins can modify the PORTAL_ADMINISTRATORS and PORTAL_PUBLISHERS groups, they cannot modify any other group unless they have been named group owner.) When the 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 WEBDB30, then the administrator account created by default is named WEBDB30_ADMIN. That administrator can then designate other users as portal administrators, as required. There are, however, several tasks that a DBA may perform that an Oracle Portal administrator cannot. These include creating schemas, roles, tables, and all other database objects, as well as mapping lightweight user accounts onto database user accounts. |
