Setting Privileges in Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration

Using the Change Privilege Permissions screen in Oracle BI Presentation Services Administration, you can:

• Change a user's or group's explicit access to a privilege
• Add explicit access to a privilege to a user or group

To access the Change Privilege Permissions screen

1. Log in to Oracle BI Presentation Services.
2. Choose Settings > Administration.
3. Click the Manage Privileges link to display the Privilege Administration screen.
4. Click the link for the users and groups associated with the privilege for which you want to change explicit access.

To change explicit access to a privilege

1. In the Users and groups with explicit access to this Privilege table:
   • If you want to change the access to a privilege for a Presentation Services group or user, click the permission associated with the Presentation Services group or user and toggle to the permission that you want - either Granted or Denied.
   • If you want to remove the explicit permission, click the Remove permissions for user/group icon associated with the Presentation Services group or user.
2. Click Finished.

To add explicit access to a privilege

1. In the Additional groups Add Explicit Permissions table, locate the Presentation Services group or user whom you want to assign explicit access to the privilege and click the associated Add link.

   To help you locate the group or user you want, you can:

   • Show only users in the Additional groups Add Explicit Permission table, by using the Show users and groups toggle
   • Search for a Presentation Services group or user to add using the Search field
   • Show effective (that is, inherited) permissions in the Additional groups Add Explicit Permission table by selecting the Show effective permissions checkbox.
2. (Optional) In the Users and groups with explicit access to this Privilege table, toggle to the permission you want to assign to the group or user you just added.
3. Click Finished.

NOTE:  By default, a user who creates an item has the permission to change it. However, in some cases, this privilege should be disabled. Make the appropriate changes to deny the target user or group access to the Admin: Catalog Change Permissions privilege.
