Overview of this book

Organizations are moving their applications, data, and processes to the cloud to reduce application costs, effort, and maintenance. However, adopting new technology poses challenges for developers, solutions architects, and designers due to a lack of knowledge and appropriate practical training resources. This book helps you get to grips with Oracle Visual Builder (VB) and enables you to quickly develop web and mobile applications and deploy them to production without hassle. This book will provide you with a solid understanding of VB so that you can adopt it at a faster pace and start building applications right away. After working with real-time examples to learn about VB, you'll discover how to design, develop, and deploy web and mobile applications quickly. You'll cover all the VB components in-depth, including web and mobile application development, business objects, and service connections. In order to use all these components, you'll also explore best practices, security, and recommendations, which are well explained within the chapters. Finally, this book will help you gain the knowledge you need to enhance the performance of an application before deploying it to production. By the end of this book, you will be able to work independently and deploy your VB applications efficiently and with confidence.

Understanding authentication roles and user roles

Authentication is the mechanism that allows us to manage access to different pages and data in an application. VB itself creates two default authentication roles, namely, anonymous user and authenticated user:

  • Anonymous user: This authentication role is assigned to all users who access the anonymous-enabled application.
  • Authenticated user: This authentication role is assigned to all users who log in to the application. All the users in this role can manage all the components and Business Objects unless access is disabled for this role. All developers have this role by default.

In addition to these two roles, you can create custom roles in VB and assign authenticated users to fine-tune access to the application resources such as pages, data, and so on.

You can enable either authentication access, anonymous access, or both to the application. By default, the user is assigned as either an anonymous user or authentication...
