Administering the Portal: Roles and Privileges

By assigning privileges to various groups you establish roles that control which group has access to what Portal functionality. During installation, Oracle9iAS Portal creates several groups to implement base user privileges and additional database-level privileges. Unauthenticated users are given access to all objects that are granted to the PUBLIC user. Likewise, logged-on users have access to the objects granted to the AUTHENTICATED_USERS group. You can grant additional portal-level privileges to users and groups to perform specific functions:

  • The PORTLET_PUBLISHERS group has Create privileges for publishing portlets.
  • The PORTAL_DEVELOPERS group has Create privileges for developing components, applications, and database objects.
  • The PORTAL_ADMINISTRATORS group has Manage privileges for all non-database object types, the ability to administer the SSO Server, and the necessary privileges in OID to create and edit users.
  • The DBA group has Manage privileges for all object types and all the necessary privileges in OID to manage users and groups and to administer the SSO Server.
