applications, searches, and other tools provided by the Oracle IPM system. Lastly, by assigning permissions to the documents within different applications. In the preceding
XYZ Company example, only the people authorized to view the purchase order, shipping receipt, and invoice documents would have the rights to do so. The person
accessing the documents must have the right to execute the search. If they do not, then they wouldnt even be able to retrieve the documents for viewing. They must also
belong to a group that has access to the individual documents in each specific application they work with: Invoices, Purchase Orders, or Shipping Receipts. The type
of document security rights granted to the group in the application determines what a person can do with the document. For example, a person in the Accounts Payable
group may be able to delete an invoice, but not a shipping receipt, whereas someone in Shipping and Receiving could delete a shipping receipt, but not even view an invoice.

1.5.1 Administrative Accounts
The first user to log into Oracle IPM after installation is given full administrative privileges for the installation. This user can give permissions to access the system to
others. If for any reason system security needs to be reset, you can do so following the procedure in the section Installation Security Initialization in chapter 2 of the full Oracle
Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle Imaging and Process Management documentation set.
1.5.2 Administrative Tools
Administration of Oracle IPM is done using the following administration tools:
■
Oracle IPM user interface. Administration capabilities are exposed in the interface based on user permissions.
Note that business users typically do not interact with the Oracle IPM administrative interface. Most user contact with Oracle IPM is accessing search
results listings and viewing documents, both of which are typically done from an integration of Oracle IPM with an existing business suite such as Oracle
E-Business Suite or PeopleSoft.

Oracle Enterprise Manager can be used for reviewing statistics on deployed resources, statistics of individual domains, details of web services, and other
