Hi,

We are looking at using Role Based Access functionality to manage the allocation of responibilities and we would like to do it with multiple security groups enabled.
Does anyone know if there is a standard (but not manual)way of allocating the security profile within RBAC.

ta

Look for metalink, as they have great material on RBAC.

I have spent some of the best years of my life trawling metalink, I did find a document that said there was no link bewteen RBAC and security profiles but i find that hard to believe

Amir, do you mean 'programatically load this RBAC stuff' from somewhere? Do you have a tame techie who can do a search for apis that deal with this? Not Bob Braund of course, he's rubbish . But someone good maybe?

Thanks for your kind words Clive.

No he doesn't mean programatically. He's wants to be able to set up roles in RBAC with responsibilities against them. When a user has that role then they should get the appropriate responsibilities automatically against their account, but also automatically get a predefined HR security profile assigned (bearing in mind he wants to use Multiple security groups so this must be per responsibility allocation, as if entered through 'Assign Security Profiles' function)

*Dammit, he went off on one anyway, despite my smiley intervention*

OK this is not my territory you understand, but given that there is a form somewhere that can do this setting up, can the functionality that the form would provide not be driven from a forms personalisation earlier on in the process? OK the words 'straws', and 'clutching' are springing to mind here.

Its no good Clive, Bobs not buying it. We will keep digging
