Defining qualifications

Qualifications define the skills, certificates, training, or other aspects of a user's capability to perform the task. You can require the task be performed by a user with a specific set of qualifications.

Qualifications can have different levels, such as novice, intermediate, or expert. You can allow someone with a higher level, who is more qualified than the one you specify, to perform the task. Qualifications can also have effective dates (when the qualification started) and expiration dates (when the qualification ended).

By default, only those in the dba role can add or modify the qualifications and qualification levels.
