R12 : Need for apps password for developers in development instance.
Hi,
I am looking for best practices guidance for Development environments. Development EBS database is generally used by developers to develop custom applications/programs. Though we advise them to use custom schemas for development, developers are generally given complete access to database including "apps" user password. There is a question by security team, on necessity for apps password for developers.
The general practice is to share apps password in development instance to all developers. Is there any general guidance on restriction of apps password for developers. Do they really require APPS password , if they have individual user ids with minimal privileges for development.
