Hi Thanks for the reply. I think however that deploying applications not being Administrator should be a basic functionality. In fact one of the administrators here is shocked when I told him this is not possible, since he comes from Bea Weblogic world. I have read *Oracle(r) Internet Directory Administrator's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2), Chapter 17 * and it talks about Delegation of Privileges for Deployment of Oracle Components<file:///E:/tecnico/oracle/Documents/10gAS_10.1.2_General/idmanage.1012/b14082/priv_del.htm#i1024397>where says: - Perform repository database installation that creates a repository database registration entry in the directory - Perform mid-tier installation. To associate a mid-tier with a repository, the user must have the appropriate privileges with a specific repository database. - Install and configure Oracle Application Server components that create application entities in Oracle Internet Directory - Grant to component entities the runtime privileges listed later in this section - Configure provisioning profiles for components so that the components can receive update notifications I am not sure if this can be used to delegate dployment privileges?
