Product: Oracle Adaptive Access Manager, Adaptive Risk Manager (ARM)

Version: 10.1.4.5

Background: All the OAAM roles that can be enabled are located in the .../oarm/WEB-INF/web.xml file.

To enable any of the roles found in the web.xml file, the roles must be added to the .../conf/tomcat-users.xml file.

       <role-link>web_EnvAdmin</role-link>
</security-role-ref>

<role rolename="web_EnvAdmin" description="Environment Admin"/>

The role must also be assigned to user account(s) through whatever means your system authenticates.
