Application roles

Application roles are part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware policy store and used across various Oracle Fusion Middleware components. They are policy-related roles outside of corporate directory store. They promote reuse across BPM projects and in turn are mapped to real-world organization.

An organization unit

An organization unit can be associated to the project at deployment. The participant is assigned a task only if he belongs to both the role associated with the task and the organization unit of the BPM project to which this task belongs. The organization unit mapping section enables you to specify the organizational unit to associate with a project at deployment. Mapping an organization unit to a BPM project is optional and you can choose the none option if you wish to skip the organizational unit mapping. There are two possible options for organization unit mapping:

3. From Project: Pick an organization unit from the ones already defined in the current project.

4. From Repository: Pick an organization unit defined in the BPM  runtime server

Participants might belong to an organizational unit so that they can only perform tasks on processes deployed in that organizational unit or any of the lower levels within the organization hierarchy. The process activities that participants are authorized to perform depend on the roles they have been assigned and the organization units under which they come under. All the participants of the  Sales Quote process belong to the default organization unit. Adding members to the organization unit follows the exact same steps as adding members to the role.
