What Is an Instance Administrator?

Instance administrators are responsible for managing an entire Oracle Application Express instance.

In Oracle Application Express, users log in to a shared work area called a workspace. These users are divided into three primary roles:

• Developers create and edit applications.

• Workspace administrators are developers who also perform administrator tasks specific to their workspace such as managing user accounts, monitoring workspace activity, and viewing log files. See "Workspace and Application Administration".

• Instance administrators are superusers that manage the entire hosted instance using the Oracle Application Express Administration Services application.
