Additional Access for Departmental Users
Additional access to Oracle Cloud is based on a user's roles and responsibilities in their area. All users are encouraged to discuss their job responsibilities with their Manager and Business Officer or other Business Unit/Entity Approver group member to identify any additional roles that are needed.
Line Managers
The Line Manager role provides access to view and manage their team, including approving time cards and/or time off requests.
This role is automatically provisioned to users who have been assigned one or more direct reports. Additional information for managers is available here.
Departmental Shoppers
The Departmental Shopper provides access to view the online aquiire® catalog and create orders via Oracle Procurement and then reassign the requisition to a Procurement Requester who can review the order and submit the requisition into workflow for review and approval.
This role may be self-requested in Oracle via these steps.
Other Departmental Roles
For all other Oracle Cloud departmental roles, a Business Officer or other Business Unit/Entity Approver group member must submit the appropriate access request directly to our team on the user's behalf.
