3.3.4 Understanding Users and Roles for Fusion Middleware Control

To access Fusion Middleware Control and perform tasks, you must have the appropriate role. Fusion Middleware Control uses the Oracle WebLogic Server security realm and the roles defined in that realm. If a user is not granted one of these roles, the user cannot access Fusion Middleware Control. Each role defines the type of access a user has. For example, a user with the role Admin has full privileges. A user with the role Operator has privileges to perform essential day-to-day operations. A user with the role Monitor has privileges only to view the configuration.
