23.1 Introduction to Oracle Data Integrator Security

Oracle Data Integrator security is used to secure any action performed by authenticated users against the design-time and run-time artifacts and components of Oracle Data Integrator. Security is built around users and profiles, to which security administrators grant methods edit, delete, and so forth on objects types projects, models, interfaces, and so forth or on specific object instances Data warehouse Project, ODS Project, and so forth. All the security information for Oracle Data Integrator is stored in the master repository. This section contains the following topics: ■ Section 23.1.1, Objects, Instances and Methods ■ Section 23.1.2, Profiles ■ Section 23.1.3, Users

23.1.1 Objects, Instances and Methods

An Object is a representation of a design-time or run-time artifact handled through Oracle Data Integrator. For example, agents, models, datastores, scenarios, interfaces and even repositories are objects. Specific objects have a double name AgentContext, ProfileMethod, and so forth. These objects represent links between objects. These links are also objects. For instance, AgentContext corresponds to a physicallogical agent association made through the contexts. Privileges on this object enable to change this association in the topology. An Instance is a particular occurrence of an object. For example, the Datawarehouse project is an instance of the Project object.
