When setting up Application Express users at a large organization, you would assign roles and privileges to specific users. The roles within Application Express include the following:
-
Workspace administrators are users who perform administrator tasks specific to a workspace such as managing user accounts, monitoring workspace activity, and viewing log files. For these tutorials, you will be acting as the workspace administrator when setting up the development environment.
-
Developers are users who create and edit applications. Developers can have their own workspace or share a workspace.
-
End users have no development privileges. You define end users so that they can access applications that do not use an external authentication scheme.
-
Oracle Application Express administrators are superusers that manage an entire hosted instance using the Application Express Administration Services application.
The following graphic shows multiple users with various roles accessing the Application Express development environment, Application Express Administration Services, and the published applications.

However, for this guide, you need to have the privileges normally associated with three roles: Application Express Administrator, Workspace Administrator, and Developer. The following graphic shows an Application Express instance with a single user.
