GOAL
Using a Standard API to Assign and Revoke Role/Responsibilities to a User

FIX
1. Assign role to a user using an API
To assign role to a user using APIs, use the following API wf_local_synch.PropagateUserRole.
Example:
Begin
wf_local_synch.PropagateUserRole(
p_user_name => '&USER_NAME',
p_role_name => '&ROLE_KEY');
commit;
end;

2. Add a responsibility to a user using API fnd_user_resp_groups_api.Insert_Assignment

To add a responsibility to a user using and API, use the following API
fnd_user_resp_groups_api.Insert_Assignment:
Example:

begin
fnd_user_resp_groups_api.Insert_Assignment (
user_id =>&USER_ID ,
responsibility_id => &RESP_ID,
responsibility_application_id =>$APPL_ID ,
start_date => &START_DATE,
end_date => &END_DATE,
description =>'Sample
example' );
commit;
end;

This shall raise an error if the responsibility is assigned to a user, but if needed to
update the responsibility assignment in case of responsibility existence, use the
following API:
begin
fnd_user_pkg.addresp(
'&User_Name',
'&Responsablity_Application_Short_Name',
'&Responsibility_Key',
'&Security_Group',
'&Description',
'&Start_Date',
'&End_Date' );
commit;
end;

3. Revoke a responsibility assignment to a user using fnd_user_pkg.delresp

To revoke a responsibility assignment to a user using an API, use fnd_user_pkg.delresp.
Example:
Begin
fnd_user_pkg.delresp(
'&User_Name',
'&Responsibility_application_short_name',
'&Responsibility_Key',
'&Security_Group');
commit;
End;

This simply end date the responsibility assignment to a user by the current system date.

4. Revoke an Indirect Responsibility

To revoke an indirect responsiblity (roles assigned using UMX) assignment to a user using APIs, use the
following API Wf_local_synch.PropagateUserRole.
Example:
Begin
Wf_local_synch.PropagateUserRole(
p_user_name => '&USER_NAME',
p_role_name => '&ROLE_KEY',
p_start_date=>'&Start_Date',
p_expiration_date=>'&End_Date');
commit;
End;
