The following BI Duty Role is applicable to the Fixed Asset subject areas for E-Business Suite:

  • Fixed Asset Accounting Manager EBS

These Duty Roles control the subject areas and dashboard content to which the user has access. These Duty Roles also ensure the data security filters are applied to all the queries.
