Fusion Middelware - Application Role

About

Fusion Middelware Application uses a role-based access control model. Security is defined in terms of Application Roles that are mapped to directory server groups and users.

The mapping is done in the application role definition.

Example of mapping between Directory Server Group/User and OBIEE Application Role:

Directory Server Group and User Application Role Name Application Role and User Permission
User1, User2, User 3 BIConsumer access reports
User4, User5 BIAuthor create reports
User6, User7 BIAdministrator manage repositories

An Application role can contain:

  • other application roles,
  • groups,
  • or individual users.

The application role data are stored in the policy store.
