Beehive Security Terms Privileges Privileges are system-defined access rights to various functions within Oracle Beehive. Privileges grant end users access to services such as e-mail, instant messaging, and time management as well as grant administrators access to auditing, user administration, and role management functions. Roles Roles are sets of privileges that may be assigned to users and groups. Roles determine what privileges assignees may possess and content that users can or cannot access. Users and groups may also be associated with role definitions for specific scopes (assigned Roles), such as a workspace. Orabyte
Beehive Security Terms Access Control Entries (ACEs) ACE is granular level access policy that applies to individual entity such as file, workspace, calendar. Each ACE contains Accessor: entities such as users or groupsAccess Type: read, write, discover, execute, delete Access Qualifier: Access is granted or denied. Collection of ACE is called Access Control List (ACL) Sensitivity It is a named ACL that users can define and apply to entities within a given workspace. Sensitivities are not attached to an object. Instead, a sensitivity is an ACL-template, which may be used again and again to assign the same ACL to many different objects. Orabyte
