Creating End Users

After moving your application to a production environment, you must now create user accounts within Oracle Application Express for all your end users.

To create end user accounts:

1. Navigate to the Workspace home page.

2. Click Administration.

3. Click Manage Users and Groups.

4. Click the Create User button.

   The Create User page appears.

5. Under User Identification, enter:

   1. Username - Enter the username used to log in to the system. Restrictions include:

      • Maximum length of 100 characters

      • No spaces

      • Only these special characters are permitted: amerpsand (@) and period (.)

   2. Email Address - Enter the valid email address for this user.

   3. First Name - Enter the first or given name to further identify the user (optional).

   4. Last Name - Enter the last or family name to further identify the user (optional).

   5. Description - Enter comments about this user (optional).

6. Under Account Privileges:

   1. Default Schemas - Specify the default schema used for data browsing, application creation, and SQL script execution.

      When using workspaces that have more than one schema available, this schema is the default. This setting does not control security, only the user's preference.

   2. Accessible Schemas (null for all) - Leave this blank to enable the end user to access all applications in the workspace, or enter a colon-delimited list of schemas for which this user has permissions when using the SQL Workshop.

   3. User is a workspace administrator - Specify if this user should have workspace administrator privileges.

      Administrators are given access to all components. Additionally, they can manage user accounts, groups, and development services. Components may not be available if they are switched off by Instance Administrators.

   4. User is a developer - Specify if this user should have developer privileges.

      Developers must have access to either Application Builder, SQL Workshop, or both. Components may not be available if they are switched off by Instance Administrators.

   5. Application Builder Access - Determines whether a developer has access to the Application Builder.

   6. SQL Workshop Access - Determines whether a developer has access to the SQL Workshop.

   7. Team Development Access - Determines whether a developer has access to the Team Development.

   8. Set Account Availability - Select Locked to prevent the account from being used. Select Unlocked to allow the account to be used.

7. Under Password:

   • Password - Enter a case sensitive password.

   • Confirm Password - Enter the password again.

   • Require Change of Password On First Use - Select No to allow the user to use the same password until it expires. Select Yes to require the user to change the password immediately when logging in the first time.

8. Under User Groups, optionally select a user group.

9. Click Create User or Create and Create Another.
