Role-based access control

Role-based access control governs access to a project and its integration components within an Oracle Integration instance, including actions that you perform using the Developer API for Oracle Integration 3. Role-based access control, sometimes called RBAC, determines the users and groups who can edit, view, and monitor a project.

Role-based access control can be more restrictive than a service role but can never give a user more permissions than a service role allows. For example:

  • When a user with a developer service role has monitoring rights in a project, the user can view but not update the components.

    The user's service role would ordinarily grant the user edit rights, but the role-based access control in the project limits the user to read-only access.

  • When a user with a monitoring service role is granted developer access in a project, the user cannot delete components in the project.

    The user's service role doesn't allow the user to delete components, and the role-based access control in the project does not provide more access than the user's service role.

Notes:

  • A project administrator can add and remove other project administrators within a given project.

  • People with the ServiceAdministrator role always have unrestricted access to every project in an instance.

Instance users

Instance users with the ServiceAdministrator role, or project administrators with the ServiceDeveloper role

Assign role-based access control within each project.
