You are the admin of an Autonomous Database (ADB) instance, and a new developer has requested a new workspace in APEX. What statement describes the step to provide the developer a new workspace in APEX?

To provision a new workspace for a developer in Oracle APEX on an Autonomous Database, the administrator must sign into the APEX Administration Services. This is the central console for managing the APEX instance. Within this service, the administrator uses the "Create Workspace" wizard. This process creates a logically isolated area where the developer can build applications. The wizard guides the administrator through associating the workspace with a new or existing database schema and creating the initial workspace administrator account for the developer.

B. Create an IDCS user with the APEX role. Creating an Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) user is for OCI-level authentication, not for creating a workspace within the APEX application itself.
C. Create a database user with the APEX role. While a workspace is mapped to a database user (schema), simply creating the user does not create the workspace. The workspace must be explicitly provisioned through APEX services.
D. Create a new developer account. This option is too generic. The specific administrative action within the APEX environment is to create a "workspace," which then includes a developer account for that space.

1. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation - Autonomous Database: "Create APEX Workspaces in Autonomous Database". The documentation explicitly states: "To create a workspace you need to sign in to APEX Administration Services... On the Administration Services home page

click Create Workspace." This directly confirms the procedure described in the correct answer.

you run the Create Workspace wizard. You must sign in to Oracle APEX Administration Services to create a workspace."
