In the Oracle HTML DB development environment, developers log in to a shared work area called a workspace. Users are divided into two primary roles: developer and workspace administrator.
Developers can create and edit applications. Workspace administrators additionally have access to tools and reports designed to help them manage their workspace. Using the Workspace Administration page, Workspace administrators can create and edit user accounts, monitor workspace activity, review log files, manage session state, view reports, and manage development services. This section describes how to perform these Workspace administrator tasks.
This section contains the following topics:
Workspace administrators can create new user accounts, manage existing user accounts, and change their passwords. User accounts are particularly useful if you are using internal "Cookie User" authentication.
Topics in this section include:
See Also: "About HTML DB Account Credentials" for more information on implementing internal Cookie User (or HTML DB Account Credentials) authentication |

Developers having Admin privilege have access to the Administration Services page and all the functionality described in this section. These users can also alter passwords of users within the same workspace.
Under User Groups, select an optional user group.
You can use User Groups to restrict access to various parts of an application. Keep in mind, however, that user groups are not portable over different authentication schemes. They are only useful when using Internal Cookie User authentication.

A session is a logical construct that establishes persistence (or stateful behavior) across page views. Each session is assigned a unique ID which the HTML DB engine uses to store and retrieve an application's working set of data (or session state) before and after each page view. Sessions persist in the database until purged by an administrator.
Workspace administrators can purge session state or user preferences within their workspace on the Session State Management page.
