Managing users in the Workbench - Best practices

Oracle recommends the following best practices for managing users in the Workbench -

• Consider adding all users to groups to make managing permissions simpler

• Do not share the predefined admin user account. This makes it difficult to track who has made changes to Workbench. Create an account for each user or group that administers Workbench

• Do not let business users share accounts. Again, this makes it difficult to track changes in Workbench

• Create administrators in addition to the predefined admin. If one administrator loses a password, another administrator needs to reset it

• If you use LDAP, consider creating an LDAP group of administrators to add to the Administrators group in Workbench

About configuring Workbench resource caching in a Web browser - Endeca Workbench

If users are connecting to Workbench over a high-latency network, setting certain cache settings in the Web browser may improve performance. 

Workbench pages reference a number of assets such as images, CSS files, and JavaScript files. These assets are relatively static and are typically cached by the browser. They are served with HTTP headers that instruct the browser not to check for new versions of these files for a period of six hours. This results in better page load performance for users who connect to Workbench over a high-latency network. 

Oracle recommends setting your browser to check for new versions of pages automatically, and allocating 256MB or more of disk space to temporary files.
