Scope
The scope of the User Management/Role Based Access Control SIG includes the components of user management that allow E-Business Suite users to define administrative functions and manage users access to both functions and data based on roles within an organization rather than the user's individual identity which is referred to as Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
Mission
The mission of the User Management/Role Based Access Control SIG is to promote the use of a common security model across all application modules to provide an efficient method to provide granular security for both functions and data. This common model allows customers to delegate and automate the administration of roles and responsibilities based on specific criteria that meets the needs of their organization. These capabilities support the globalization features built into the latest E-Business releases. Additionally, the resulting auditability, efficiency and control inherent in this use of this product should encourage wider acceptance of the use of RBAC.
