Role Mappings are the designated feature within Oracle Fusion Applications Security to automate the provisioning of roles based on a user's Human Capital Management (HCM) assignment records. They create a link between a worker's attributes (such as job, business unit, or worker type) and the roles they should have. When a worker's assignment data changes, the "Autoprovision Roles for All Users" process evaluates the mappings and automatically assigns, reassigns, or revokes roles. This applies to all worker types, including employees and contingent workers.

A: Oracle Identity Manager is a broader identity management suite; role mappings are the specific, integrated feature within Fusion Applications for this purpose.

B: Access Policy Manager is used to manage the underlying data security policies and entitlements, not for the automated assignment of roles to users.

C: This is factually incorrect. The role provisioning processes are designed to work for all defined worker types, including contingent workers.

E: Data roles are the objects that are assigned via role mappings; they are not the mechanism that performs the automated assignment.
