User accounts for users of Oracle Fusion Applications are maintained in your Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory. The LDAP directory also holds information about roles provisioned to users.

To copy this information, you use the task Run User and Roles Synchronization Process. -> Search for 'User and Roles Synchronization Process' task and click on task link -> Click on submit by clicking on 'submit' button -> You can see below confirmation message with process id upon submission -> Click on navigator button and click schedule process button -> You can view the process status on below screen

Let's see what is value set and how to create one. A value set is a group of valid values that you assign to a flexfield segment to control the values that are stored for business object attributes. We have following types value sets. Format only, where end users enter data rather than selecting values from a list Independent, a list of values consisting of valid values you specify Dependent, a list of values where a valid value derives from the independent value of another segment Subset, where the list of values is a subset of the values in an existing independent value set Table, where the values derive from a column in an application table and the list of values is limited by a WHERE clause Security Value set security only works in conjunction with usage within flexfield segments. You can specify that data security be applied to the values in flexfield segments that use a value set. Based on the roles provisioned to users, data security...

How to auto provision the roles in Fusion application? Role is a privilege or set of privileges that provide the access to functional area(s) or data set. There are different kind of roles in fusion.
