REFERENCE USER TYPE

Former Member — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 11:49:36 GMT

Hello Experts,

Can you help in giving more info on the reference user type concept. I have multiple questions

I have a set of users whose profiles are exceeded. a collegue of mine suggested using reference user to give the extra profiles.

Is the combination possible?

Does this combination show up in GRC while we run SODs?

Do the reference user authorizations superseed the authorizations assigned directly to the user directly

Your expert suggestions are highly appreciated

1. Yes, but don't bother, fix your design first.

2. Yes (if configured)

3. They are in addition to the users existing auths.

Hi Raghavendra,

This means your Security setup is not appropriate. Firstly I recommend you to fix the security setup and ensure that you can give all the required authorizations within the limitations. The more # of roles/profiles that you assign, creates more # of problems in terms of managing, resources etc.,

The other two questions, you have an answer already
