Operations Available to Each Role
Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server 8-3
While you can create any number of additional roles for use in your applications, only
the roles in Table 8-1 have permission to view or change the configuration of a
WebLogic Server. To define a role, use the Administration Console. For more
information, refer to Granting Roles in the Managing WebLogic Security guide.
Default Group Associations
By default, a WebLogic Server defines four groups that correspond to the four global
roles. By adding a username to one of these groups, the user will also be in the
corresponding global role. (See Table 8-2.)
Membership in a group is a static identity that a system administrator assigns, while
membership in a role can be dynamically calculated based on data such as group
membership, username, or the time of day. (See Figure 8-1.)
