1.1 Overview

In Oracle Enterprise Repository, all users are assigned roles. Roles define the Oracle Enterprise Repository functionality that can be exercised by each user. In order for a user to access any files associated with assets in Oracle Enterprise Repository, the user must be assigned to a project. Projects are the primary means of gathering metrics in Oracle Enterprise Repository. Oracle Enterprise Repository tracks assets produced by projects, as well as assets consumed by projects. Oracle Enterprise Repository users are assigned to projects, and when a user submits a new asset, they are prompted for the producing project. Similarly, when a user wants to reuse an asset, they are prompted for the project on which the asset is reused. Both Users and Projects are assigned to Departments. This is convenient from a reporting standpoint, as organizations can then track the production and consumption of reusable assets to a specific department. Figure 1–1 describes the relationships between Users, Roles, Projects, Assets, and Departments. 1-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Enterprise Repository Figure 1–1 Relationship Diagram
