when i logged in with newly created user

Unsurprisingly:

An "end user" account without admin or developer access to the app builder obviously can't access applications through the builder. They access applications directly using an application URL containing the application ID/alias and page ID/alias supplied by an admin or developer user.

Unable to Create End User in Apex 4.0.2

I want an End User to use an application without seeing Development links at the bottom (like 'Edit page x' or 'Session' or 'Debug'). I go to the Administration tab, click 'Manage Users and Groups', and click Create User. In the Account Priveleges section I specify 'No' for User is a Workspace Administrator. I specify 'No' for User is a developer. I fill in the mandatory fields and click 'Create User' at the top.
It processes the action BUT on the following page, for the row created representing the new user, the Account Type says Workspace Administrator and not End User. If I log in with the new user I see developer tabs at the bottom.
How do I create an End User?
I obtained APEX 4.0.2.00.08 by downloading Oracle Express 11g if that helps.

Custom Authentication is behaving like an End User account, which is good - no developer tabs at the bottom. I used something similar to Chapter 11 of the Advanced Tutorials guide:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION acl_custom_auth (
p_username IN VARCHAR2,
p_password IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN BOOLEAN IS
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN (SELECT 1
FROM acl_employees
WHERE upper(userid) = upper(p_username)
AND upper(last_name) = upper(p_password))
LOOP
RETURN TRUE;
END LOOP;
RETURN FALSE;
END;

Restricting or limiting end users in APEX

hey good day,
i will like to restrict users who can access the interface, they should only see their information or records on the report page. i have used ACL to restrict users from tabs, buttons, columns and lists but i will like to further restrict users to the content in the report page. the user should only see his/her information alone.
i'm using Oracle Application Express Release 3.2.1.
could APEX further restrict or limit users in this way?
i will be grateful with any help at all.
thanks in advance,

Good day to you, user12109840 (please tell us your name)!
There are a couple ways I've seen to implement the type of restriction you're looking to build:
1) Add a column to the table that ties the rows to a particular user, then change your queries to something like:
select * from my_table where user_col = :APP_USERThis has one very glaring security issue - what happens when someone accesses the data outside your application? They'll see everything! But depending on your situation this may not be a concern.
2) Look into Oracle's support for fine-grained access control or row-level security. It isn't an ApEx feature, it's a feature of the database itself. It's more complicated to implement, but much more robust. I won't go into the details here - there is plenty out there on Google - but essentially you still define some column in your tables to tie rows back to a user or set of users, however the set of rows a user is allowed to see is dictated by a context at the database level. So it doesn't matter whether they access the database via your application or outside your application - they will see the rows they're permitted to see or nothing.
Hope this helps,
John

Mass upload of APEX end users

Hi All,
I wonder if I can do a mass upload of APEX end users? If so, can you please describe the process?
Thanks

Audit Vault & Apex - ANONYMOUS user recorded rather than Apex end user

Hi,
We have Audit Vault 10.2.3 & Apex 3.2
Audit Vault stores the name of the database user when a table is updated through SQL*Plus etc as expected.
Problem is through Apex and insert to db table using simple form on table the user ANONYMOUS is recorded.
We need to have the actual end user logged into Application Express.
Is there anyway of configuring Audit Vault or Apex to use/pass v('APP_USER')? Does something need to be done in Apex to set a session?
Running the below shows 2 ANONYMOUS users and no APEX_PUBLIC_USER or Apex end user.
select username, count(*)
from v$session
group by username;
Any advice & guidance would be great - thanks in advance.

Having posted the same question on the Apex forum I received the following response and have been able to use CLIENT_ID to return the apex user and session details. Thought it best to post here too incase others search for the same information.
Since Audit Vault relies on native database auditing it can only collect information that is recorded by the "source" database in its audit trail. APEX populates the CLIENT_INFO field of the connection with the APP_USER. However, CLIENT_INFO is not recorded in the audit trail. Instead the CLIENT_ID is captured. APEX records a composite value in this field. The value is formatted as "APP_USER:SESSION_ID". This value should be recorded in the audit trail and consequently sent to Audit Vault. Audit Vault's reports should be able to display this field, and you can filter on it to get the information you need.

Download and Upload Report Layout for End User

hi, i did the following
1. create an xml data file
2. load in in bipublisher
3.create a layout
4. create a report query in apex and load the rtf created in step 3
5. test the report.
it works fine.
my requirement is for trained end users (bipublisher trained) to download the rtf and edit it if need be. most of the editing will be text and they will not be editing any data fields. i will create a button for the end user to download the report layout, but what api can i use to download the rtf for them and where should i move the report layout (any apis for this) upon upload after the rtf is edited by the user.
thanks

You should always state the Apex version. And this case, because this is related to authentication, the Authentication scheme you are using.
Assuming that you are using the Apex Built-in Auth scheme, you can achieve this by using User Groups feature and the APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP API.
Here are the high level steps:
a. Apex Builder > Administration > Manage Users and Groups
b. Create 2 users UAT1 and UAT2
c. Create 2 Groups UAT1Group and UAT2 Group
d. Assign UAT1 user to UAT1Group and UAT2 to UAT2Group
e. On the Home page of both the applications create a "Before Page Header" Branch that goes back to the Login Page. Make this branch conditional.This does not work, because in APEX you can go into any page after login bypassing the home page (like this http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46417:9 where 9 is not home page)
So this branch will not run.
f. In "A" application you want only UAT1 to access , so use PL/SQL Expression type of condition in the above created branch that has the following code
return NOT APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP('UAT1Group')So the user UAT1 will return False and the branch will not execute, but for others it will return True and send the user to Login page, which is access denied.
Similarly, make the branch in B application condition for UAT2Group.

Allowing end-user to create a user using a form

Hi all,
I'm working on a project whereby I must allow end-users from anywhere to create an account for themselves (Register).
Which table/object should I create a form on to enable users to register.
(APEX 3.1.2)
kind regards
Mel

Hi Mel,
I just set up custom authentication for the last application I developed. The user table is pretty simple and you can easily hash the passwords. I even developed a process where a person can change their own password and the process email them of any such changes. Course, that requires an email address to be a column in the user table.
There is a relatively new Apex book out titled Pro Oracle Application Express. It has a lot of good information concerning custom authentication. It takes you through the whole process, step by step. Also, the book is excellent in itself and definitely worth having. It has a lot of good information in it.

Enabling end users to create and upload their own layouts for PDF reports

Using the PDF printing features in APEX 3.x and BI Publisher, you can create professional looking report designs with no programming knowledge, simply by using the built-in wizards of the BI Publisher Word Plug-In, and a little knowledge of how to use MS Word. The nice thing about using the Word Plug-In is that even the end users of your APEX applications could potentially do this. The only problem is, that typically those report layouts are stored under the Shared Components of your application, and end users generally don't have access to the Application Builder, all they typically use is your APEX application. So then why not simply add an interface to your APEX application that lets your end users upload their own layouts and dynamically link them to APEX report queries at runtime? I put together a sample application that demonstrates this technique, you can try it out on apex.oracle.com or download the application and try it on your own APEX instance. Here's the link to my Blog with more information:

Logging in as an end user issue

Hello
APEX - 4.1.0.00.32
DB version - 10g
Web server architecture - OHS
Browser - IE8
Theme - 5
I have a working application that I want to deploy to end users, I have started the application and gone to the run application icon and right clicked and copied the url. when I open a new IE window and use the copied url the page comes up to allow me to log in, but the developer toolbar is still available at the bottom of the screen.
Here is the url I use to go in as a developer
https://as271p1.cio.gov.ns.ca/pls/apex/f?p=4000:1:2313236537336539::NO:RP:FB_FLOW_ID,F4000_P1_FLOW:129,129
and here is the url I am trying to use as an end user
https://as271p1.cio.gov.ns.ca/pls/apex/f?p=129:LOGIN:2781678685109191
any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you

Another tip I forgot to mention: this is default behaviour when you have Availability Status = Available with Edit Links. Like mentioned in documentation:
Available with Edit Links - Application is available for use. For developers, the Developer toolbar displays at the bottom of each page. Requires the developer to be logged in to the Application Builder in the same browser session.

Monitor connected front end users

Hi ,
I have an application with access control list and table which holds application users / used for authorization etc ...
at the database level I would like to see and know which session belongs to which fron end users!
at the database level I can only see session id's and application's username which is htmldb_public_user.... and its unique for every user..
lookin at Utilities>Database Monitor>Sessions page I can only see one developer connected! but cant see session or session id for front end users? is there anyway to find out the session info for this user?
Thanks

its the same question with a diffrence that he is trying to have diffrent applications login as diffrent username so he can trace applications individually(which is what im intrested in too) where as im more intrested in knowing the session id for each front end users who are viewing/inserting or deleting data through the applications! hope this makes sense!
I dont undrestand below response!
Bill,
FYI, the engine does this for each database session:
begin dbms_application_info.set_client_info(g_user); dbms_session.set_identifier(substr(g_user,1,(64 - length(g_instance)-1))||':'||to_char(g_instance)); dbms_application_info.set_module('APEX:APPLICATION '||to_char(g_flow_id),'PAGE '||to_char(g_flow_step_id)); exception when others then null; end;
...where g_user is the authenticated user, g_flow_id is the application ID, g_flow_step_id is the page ID, and g_instance is the Application Express sessionID. I don't know where to tell you to look for these markers but they will be associated with the database sessions that you're seeing which are owned by APEX_PUBLIC_USER.
We are looking to move to a 4 RAC environment which is creating many questions concerning APEX architecture.
I've seen all your other posts about this and IMO, there are no questions to be answered about the architecture of Application Express vis-a-vis RAC, and vice versa.
Thanks

When creating users in apex,how can i limit pages depending the user?

Hi,
1.When creating users in apex,how can i limit every user in the pages he can run or see depending on the user profile ?
2.Are the user that is created in apex also a user in DB ?
Thanks in advance
Yoel

Yoel -
We're talking about end users of applications you develop in Application Express, not users that login to the development environment.
You do not have to use Application Express to create user accounts for your application. Your apps can authenticate using SSO, LDAP, or other methods. If you use Application Express user accounts, that is only for convenience which may not be convenient in the long run if you have to manage those accounts, but that's up to you.
These Application Express accounts have no relation to database accounts. This situation is slightly different when using the XE database.
Your application's authorization logic determines which users can access the application, pages, or other components, that is, it is not the user account properties, per se, that control application access but rather the application's determination about the properties of the authenticated account in use that allow it to control access. For example, you don't create an account and give it attributes that say this user can access application ABC and pages 1,2, and 7. Instead, you might give that account properties like SALES MANAGER ROLE and the the application would allow only users with SALES MANAGER ROLE (whatever that means) to access certain pages.

Best way to data transfer between Database & XML & Display to end user

Hi,
What is the best mothod to insert the data into tables from XML and viceversa. Also I need to display the data to the end user, with the provision to edit the data.
Thanks in advance

If you want to edit and store the data completely in XML then you could do the following:
1) Register the XML schema and specify a default table.
2) Connect to the XDB repository and store your documents using FTP or WebDAV. Make sure they reference the registered schema in the instance header. This should load the underlying XMLTYPE table you specified as the default table.
3) Connect to the repository with a WebDAV-aware XML editor.
And if you want to take this a little further, then you could also do the following:
4) Create a relational view on top of your XML table using code similar to below.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW "ACT_LIST" ("NAME", "CITE", "SORT", "JURISDICTION", "LOCATION") AS
SELECT
ExtractValue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/act/act_version/name[1]') Name
, ExtractValue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/act/act_version/cite[1]') Cite
, ExtractValue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/act/act_version/name[1]/@sort') Sort
, ExtractValue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/act/@juris') Jurisdiction
, b.ANY_PATH Location
FROM
ACTS a
, RESOURCE_VIEW b
WHERE
Ref(a) = ExtractValue(b.RES, '/Resource/XMLRef')
5) Put that into an application (e.g. APEX) as a report.
6) Link from the report to the XML editor and pass the location of the document in the repository. Or you can use an embedded WYSIWYG XML editor so that they edit the document inside the application and the whole thing is fairly seamless for the user.
Hope this helps.

Created/Updated User in Apex 4.0 does not match valid application users

We are working on a new install of Apex 4.0 - new application and seeing some odd values on the page details.
For many of the first pages in the application (1-20 and 101), click to get Page Attributes then the Name tab. The yellow box on the bottom shows each page as:
Created: 5 weeks ago - ADMIN
Updated: 10 months ago - <Name varies per below>
Pages 1/5 = DEMO
Pages 2/4 = SBKENNED
Pages 6-10 = SBKENNED
Page 20 = DPEAKE
Page 101 = MIKE
The rest of the pages have our normal developer and dates.
Not a huge deal, but looks very odd.

Where are the ID and Password fields in End User Login ?

Hi:
I need to modifiy the ID / Password labels of the end-user login. I searched it in the WPMessages.properties, but i only find the variable UI_PWD_LABEL, and if i change it, it saw in the Admin Login but not in the User Login.
Any idea?
Thanks,
MJ.

Please tell us your first name and update your forum profile with it to help us. Thanks.
The first process sets a convenience cookie with the value the user entered in the username field. This is a session cookie. The code is all there. It has nothing to do with the topic of your post.
The Login process calls the apex login API. This performs authentication and does session registration and sets another cookie for session management.
Where usernames and passwords are stored depends on the type of authentication you have chosen and this is recorded in the Authentication Function attribute of the authentication scheme. For Application Express authentication, the account information is in the table wwv_flow_fnd_user. You might also use your own tables for this, or LDAP, or SSO, ...
