Create Application Roles Using Fusion Middleware Control

You can create a new application role or copy from an existing role using Fusion Middleware Control.

Creating Application Roles

There're two methods for creating an application role.

  • Create New — Creates an application role. You can add members when you create the new role, or you can save the new role after naming it and later add members.

  • Copy Existing — Creates an application role by copying an existing application role. The copy contains the same members as the original, and the new role will be Grantee of the same application policy. You can modify the copy as required when you create the new role.
