Granting component access privileges

Related topics

You must have the proper access privileges to perform any action on a component such as running it, editing it, or viewing its source code. By default, you are granted the highest level of access privileges, Manage, on any component you create.

With Manage access privileges on a component, you can grant access privileges such as Manage, Edit, View, Customize, or Execute to other users or groups.

You define access to your component at one of the following levels:

Application

Access to your component is inherited from the application that owns it. For example, all users who have Execute privileges on the owning application are automatically granted privileges to execute your component. Users with Edit application privileges can edit all components owned by the application, and so forth.

User

Access to your component is set for each user or group to whom you grant privileges. You can grant different privileges to different users. Application access privileges are overridden by user access privileges.

 

To grant access privileges on a component to other users or groups, you must have Manage access privileges on the component or the application that owns it.

To inherit access privileges from the owning application:

  1. On the Oracle Portal Home page, click on the shortcut bar.

  2. Click the Applications tab in the Oracle Portal Navigator.

    The Name column of the Navigator displays the names of all applications in which you have privileges.

  3. Click the name of the application that contains the component on which you want to grant access privileges.

  4. In the Actions column next to the component, click Manage. The Manage Component page displays.

  5. Click the Access tab.

  6. By default, the Inherit Privileges from Application check box is selected. Leave this check box selected if you want access to your component to be defined by the owning application.

To grant access privileges to individual users:

  1. Follow steps 1-7 above.

  2. Clear the Inherit Privileges from Application check box, then click Apply. The Access page displays two new sections, Grant Access and Change Access.

  3. In the Grantee field, enter the name of the user or group of users to whom you want to grant privileges. Click the Browse Users or Browse Groups icon to search for users or groups.

  4. Choose an access privilege in the list next to the grantee.

  5. Click Add. The user or group you entered now appears in the Change Access list at the bottom of the page with the access privilege you granted.

  6. (Optional) To modify an access privilege, choose a new privilege next to the user or group in the Change Access list.

  7. (Optional) To remove all privileges, click next to the user or group.

  8. Click Apply.
