Creating USER and User Name Policy
An user id should be created for each employee who needs access to the system. After an employee is created in HRMS, SYSADMIN logins to User Management and search for that employee by first and last name.
The sysadmin needs to enter the mail id and password (not mandatory, if not entered manually system generates a password). A mail is sent to the user with the log in credentials. Next the sysadmin can add the roles/responsibilities to the user as per the business requirements.
Configuring the User Name Policy
The Oracle User Management registration infrastructure supports a configurable user name policy. This policy is used to generate a suggested user name in the sample user creation flows shipped with the application, as well as for validating the chosen user name format.
Note: Oracle User Management is supplied with a default policy that identifies users by their email address.
Seeded User Name Policies
The following table lists the seeded user name policies that are shipped with Oracle Applications.
Administrators can configure either of these seeded policies. In addition to these, custom policies can also be implemented if desired.
Configuration of user name policy is a three-stage process.

3. From the Business Events page, search for the Business Event with the name racle.apps.fnd.umx.username.generate.
4. Click on the Subscription icon to go to the Subscriptions page.
5. For the subscription corresponding to the policy, change the status to “Enabled”.
Stage 2 – Validation Event Subscription Setup
