Oracle Fixed Assets User Manual

Introduction: System Administrator

A System Administrator is a person responsible for controlling access to Oracle Applications and assuring smooth ongoing operation. Each site where Oracle Applications is installed needs a system administrator to perform tasks such as:

·         Managing and controlling security: Decide which users have access to each application, and within an application, which forms, functions, and reports a user can access.
·         Setting up new users: Register new Oracle Applications users, and give them access to only those forms, functions, and reports they need to do their jobs.
·         Auditing user activity:  Monitor what users are doing and when they do it. Choose who to audit and what type of data to audit.
·         Setting user profiles:  A user profile is a set of changeable options that affects the way Oracle Applications look and behave. A System Administrator can set user profile values at the site, application, responsibility, and user levels.

·         Managing concurrent processing: Concurrent Processing is an Oracle Applications facility that lets long–running, data–intensive tasks run simultaneously with online operations, taking full advantage of multitasking and parallel processing. A System Administrator can monitor and control concurrent processing using a few simple forms.
