Managing Roles
The role management interface can be found in Webconsole -> Roles. Using this interface, you can create new roles and manage existing ones. OpenIAM supports the creation of Business Roles and Technical Roles.
- Technical roles: represent roles in an application that user is modeling. For example, if you want to represent the Oracle DB role in OpenIAM, then it will be considered a Technical role.
- Business roles: represent a collection of Technical roles and other entitlements which are generally needed to perform a job function.
