About Users and Roles in Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager

To access Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager or Functional Setup Manager, you must log in as a user with one of these Duty Roles:

  • BI Applications Administrator

    Users with the BI Applications Administrator Duty Role have access to all Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager screens and all FSM screens. Only users with this Duty Role can perform system setup tasks such as managing the Oracle BI Applications instance and enabling Oracle BI Applications offerings.

  • BI Applications Developer

    Users with the BI Applications Functional Developer Duty Role have access to all Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager screens except for the System Setup screens. In FSM, these users have access to the list of functional setup tasks assigned to them, and they can perform functional setup tasks (by using the Go to Task option in FSM).

  • BI Applications Implementation Manager

    Users with the BI Applications Implementation Manager Duty Role have access to the Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager Overview page and dialogs for the export and import of Setup Data. In FSM, these users have access to the Configure Offerings and Manage Implementation Projects screens, but they cannot perform functional setup tasks. That is, they do not have access to the Go to Task option in FSM.

Setting up users with these Duty Role privileges is performed when Oracle BI Applications is set up. For more information, see to the topic titled 'User Access to Configuration Manager, FSM, and Oracle Data Integrator' in Chapter 4 of Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Installation Guide.

To find out what Duty Role privileges have been assigned to the different users, use your LDAP tools and Oracle APM and check which users have the Duty Role privileges BIA_ADMINISTRATOR_DUTY, BIA_IMPLEMENTATION_MANAGER_DUTY, and BIA_FUNCTIONAL_DEVELOPER_DUTY. For more information about security privileges required for Oracle BI Applications components, see the topic titled "Security Overview of Oracle BI Applications Configuration Manager and Functional Setup Manager” in Chapter 1 of Oracle Business Intelligence Applications Security Guide.
