5 Implementing Security

This chapter contains the following topics:

• About Security in Oracle Healthcare Operating Room Analytics

• Using Predefined User Groups in OBIEE and Creating New Ones

5.1 About Security in Oracle Healthcare Operating Room Analytics

ORA security includes:

• Predefined OBIEE user groups determine the privileges allowed to users and allow access to the shipped ORA dashboards and analyses. You can create additional user groups as needed in OBIEE.

5.2 Using Predefined User Groups in OBIEE and Creating New Ones

All ORA End Users—people who view operating room data in OBIEE—must be associated with one or more OBIEE user groups. The OBIEE groups determine privileges allowed to users and allow access to the shipped ORA dashboards and analyses.

ORA provides a set of predefined OBIEE user groups. The administrator can create additional groups as needed. Oracle Healthcare Operating Room Analytics comes with only one Administrator User ID by default. Oracle recommends that you create User IDs for every user of ORA application and assign them to OBIEE user groups based on desired privileges.

Note:

To perform administrative tasks in OBIEE, you must be a member of OBIEE's predefined Administrator group.

5.2.1 Predefined OBIEE User Groups

ORA includes predefined OBIEE user groups (called groups in OBIEE) to allow ORA end users access to predefined dashboards. Each dashboard allows access to a predefined set of analyses. For more information about predefined analyses, refer to Appendix A, Dashboards and Reports.

The predefined user groups allow dashboard access as follows:

• Enterprise User: Summary and Enterprise analyses Dashboards

• Department Manager: Summary, Volume, Utilization, Efficiency, and Sched Cases Dashboards

• Chief of Surgery: Summary, Volume, Utilization, Efficiency, and Sched Cases Dashboards

• Chief of Anesthesia: Summary, Volume, Utilization, Efficiency, and Sched Cases Dashboards

• Executive (Financial Officer): Enterprise analyses, Volume, and Utilization Dashboards

• Business Analyst: Summary, Volume, Efficiency, and Sched Cases Dashboards

• Administrator: is a super user who has access to all dashboards and analyses.

For more information, refer to Assigning OBIEE User Groups to Dashboards and Analyses.

Note:

ORA ships with both the Presentation catalog and Repository groups for each predefined user group.

5.2.2 Creating User Groups in OBIEE

You can create additional user groups in OBIEE as needed; for example:

• If you create new dashboards or analyses, you may need new user groups to manage access to them.

• To create new dashboards and analyses you must allow some users—ORA Programmers in the example—access to the OBIEE Answers component, for which they need to be in a user group with access to Answers.

For each new user group you need, you must create identically named user groups in two places:

• Create a new group in the Presentation catalog: Log in to OBIEE, click Settings > Administration > Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users. For more information, refer to the Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide.

• Create a new group in the OBIEE Repository. If you wish, you can use the group to provide increased security at the RPD level. For more information, refer to the Oracle Business Intelligence Server Administration Guide.

Note:

The OBIEE Presentation catalog and Repository user groups must all have exactly the same name.

5.2.3 Assigning OBIEE User Groups to Dashboards and Analyses

To use a group to allow users access to particular dashboards or analyses, you must assign the new group to one or more dashboards or analyses.

Log in to OBIEE, click Settings > Administration > Manage Interactive Dashboards. For more information, refer to the Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide.
