2.1 Role of the Fusion Middleware Administrator

Oracle Fusion Middleware provides a single administrative role with complete administrative capabilities—the Admin role. Fusion Middleware administrators with this role can perform the complete range of security-sensitive administrative duties, and all installation, configuration, and audit tasks. This administrator is also responsible for setting up and configuring WebCenter Spaces immediately after installation, and performing on-going administrative tasks for WebCenter Spaces and other Oracle WebCenter components. Throughout this document, this administrator is referred to as the Fusion Middleware administrator. Note: Administrators working with WebCenter Portal applications developed using Oracle WebCenter Framework, should refer to Chapter 4, Getting WebCenter Portal Applications Up and Running . 2-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle WebCenter During installation, a single Fusion Middleware administrator account is created named weblogic. The password is the one provided during installation. Use this administrator account to log in to the Fusion Middleware Control Console and WebCenter Spaces, and assign administrative privileges to other users: ■ Fusion Middleware Control - Add one more users to the Administrator group using the Oracle WebLogic Administration Console or Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool WLST. For details, see Administrative Users and Roles in Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide. Oracle WebLogic Server provides two other roles, in addition to the Admin role, namely Operator and Monitor. To find out more about these role, see Table 1–7, WebCenter Operations and Oracle WebLogic Server Roles in Section 1.8, Understanding Administrative Operations, Roles, and Tools . ■ WebCenter Spaces - Assign one more users the Administrator role through WebCenter Spaces Administration. For details, Giving a User Administrative Privileges in Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle WebCenter. To find out what other tasks a Fusion Middleware administrator must do to get WebCenter Spaces up and running, follow the steps listed under Roadmap - Setting Up WebCenter Spaces for the First Time .

2.2 Role of the WebCenter Spaces Administrator

WebCenter Spaces administrators have the highest application privileges within the WebCenter Spaces application itself. This administrator can view and customize every aspect of the WebCenter Spaces application, manage users and roles, and delegate responsibilities to others. Out-of-the-box, the default Fusion Middleware administrator weblogic is the only user assigned to the WebCenter Spaces Administrator role. The password is the one provided during installation. Use this administrator account to log in to WebCenter Spaces, and assign additional users the Administrator role. For details, see Giving a User Administrative Privileges in Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle WebCenter. To find out what a WebCenter Spaces administrator must do to customize WebCenter Spaces out-of-the-box, follow the Roadmap - Customizing WebCenter Spaces for the First Time .

2.3 Installing WebCenter Spaces

WebCenter Spaces installation is described in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle WebCenter. Note: The Fusion Middleware administrator is also responsible for all on-going administrative tasks, for details see Section 3.3, System Administration for WebCenter Spaces Roadmap . Note: The WebCenter Spaces administrator is also responsible for all on-going administrative tasks, for details see Section 3.4, Application Administration for WebCenter Spaces Roadmap .
