An enterprise domain within an identity management realm can contain multiple
enterprise roles. An enterprise role is a set of Oracle role-based authorizations
across one or more databases in an enterprise domain.
This section describes how to use Enterprise Security Manager to administer
enterprise roles in the directory. It contains the following topics:
■ Creating a New Enterprise Role
■ Assigning Database Global Role Membership to an Enterprise Role
■ Granting Enterprise Roles to Users
Creating a New Enterprise Role
You can create an enterprise role inan enterprise domain either from the Operations
menu on the Enterprise Security Manager main window (Figure 13–8), or by
right-clicking an enterprise domain in the main application tree. In either case, the
Create Enterprise Role window appears (Figure 13–11):
