Set Initial Password for User:

 A password must be at least five characters and can be up to thirty characters.

This window does not display the password we enter. After entering a password, re-enter it to ensure there has not be a typing Error.

The first time an application user signs on, he/she must change the password.

A password is considered hard-to-guess if it follows these rules:

·         The password contains at least one letter and at least one number.

·         The password does not contain the username.

·         The password does not contain repeating characters.

The Status field indicates the status of the user account. This field is display-only and values are generated by the system.

E-Business Suite allowed between password changes.

The user cannot sign on to Oracle E-Business Suite before the start date or after the end date.

Direct responsibilities are responsibilities assigned to the user directly.

Assign the required responsibility for User. A responsibility is uniquely identified by application name and responsibility name.

Indirect responsibilities are used with Oracle User Management only. A user may "inherit" an indirect responsibility through membership of a group to which the responsibility has been assigned.

Securing attributes are used by some Oracle HTML-based applications to allow rows (records) of data to be visible to specified users or responsibilities based on the specific data (attribute values) contained in the row.
