Creating Additional User Accounts

As an administrator, you inherit all the privileges associated with the developer role. If you want to start developing the application shown in this guide, skip this section and go to "Logging In to Your Local Instance".

However, you might want to create user accounts for other developers who share this workspace. Associating users with the workspace grants them access to all applications and scripts within that workspace. You can also create additional user accounts for workspace administrators.

To create user accounts:

1. Log in to the Workspace where you want to add users. See "Logging In to the Hosted Demo Environment" or "Logging In to Your Local Instance".

   The Workspace home page appears.

2. From the Administration links list on the right, click Manage Application Express Users.

3. Under the Tasks list on the right, click either the Create Developer or Create Workspace Administrator link.

   The Create User page appears.

4. Under Account Control:

   • Set Account Availability - Select Unlocked.

   • Require Change of Password On First Use - Select No if you do not want to force this user to change his or her password at first log in.

5. Under User Identification, enter the appropriate information:

   1. User Name - Enter a user name for this end user.

   2. Password and Confirm Password - Enter a case-sensitive password for this account.

   3. Email Address - Enter the valid email address for this end user.

      This email address must be valid so that users can receive the login credentials to log in to the application.

6. Under Developer Privileges:

   1. Accessible Schemas (null for all) - Leave this blank to allow the end user to access all applications in the workspace, or enter a colon-delimited list of schemas to restrict the end user's access.

      If a user does not have access to the schema that an application is built on, the user cannot access the application.

   2. Default Schema - Accept the default, the schema you set up for this guide.

   3. User is a developer - Accept the default.

   4. User is a workspace administrator - Accept the default.

7. Under User Groups, you can select a user group.

   You can use groups to restrict access to parts of an application. Groups are primarily useful when using Application Express Authentication.

8. Under Additional Attributes, you can enter additional user information.

9. Click Create User or Create and Create Another.
