6.4.2 Creating the User Account for Installing Connectors

Users belonging to the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS group of Oracle Identity Manager can install connectors.

The required permissions are the following: ■ Form Designer Allow Insert, Write Access, Delete Access ■ Structure Utility.Additional Column Allow Insert, Write Access, Delete Access ■ Meta-Table Hierarchy Allow Insert, Write Access, Delete Access ■ User Should belong to SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS group. The required menu item is Deployment Management Install Connector. To install a connector, if you want to use a user account that does not belong to the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS group, then you must apply these permissions and menu item to one of the groups to which the user account belongs.
