Option

Required for authentication

This option is designed to check the Initialization block who hold security/important variables.

In other word, if the initialization of this variables does not succeed the user is not authorized to log in otherwise for instance:

  • OBIEE can show data where the user has no authorization (for instance, with the GROUP variable)
  • some functionalities will not work

It's not recommended to check it on a authentication init block oterhwise you can get this error:

[nQSError: 13024] Successful completion of init block 'Authentication' is required
