Creating the Oracle BI Server Impersonator User

BI Presentation Services uses the Oracle BI Impersonation feature to establish a connection to the BI Server on behalf of the authenticated end user. For this purpose, a special user that BI Presentation Services will utilize for impersonating the authenticated end user needs to be created. This document refers to this special user as the impersonator user.

To create the Oracle BI Server Impersonator User

Use this procedure to create the impersonator user in the BI Server repository.

1. Open the BI Server repository file (.rpd) using BI Administration Tool.
2. Select Manage > Security to display the Security Manager.
3. Select Action > New > User to open the User dialog box.
4. Enter a name and password for this user.

   For example, Name = Impersonator and Password = secret.

5. Click OK to create the user.

   Make this user a member of the group Administrators.

6. Double-click on the icon for the user that was created.
7. In the Group Membership portion of the dialog box, check the Administrators group to grant the user created above membership to this group.

For more information on creating users and granting Group membership, refer to the Oracle Business Intelligence Server Administration Guide.
