Implementing Security

This chapter contains the following topics:

About Security in Oracle Healthcare Provider Supply Chain Analytics

OHPSCA security includes:

Using Predefined User Groups in OBIEE and Creating New Ones

All OHPSCA End Users—people who view supply chain 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 OHPSCA dashboards and reports.

OHPSCA provides a set of predefined OBIEE user groups. The administrator can create additional groups as needed. Oracle Healthcare Provider Supply Chain Analytics comes with only one Administrator User ID by default. Oracle recommends that you create User IDs for every user of Oracle Healthcare Provider Supply Chain Analytics 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.

Predefined OBIEE User Groups

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

The predefined user groups allow dashboard access as follows:

  • Supplier Performance Analyst: 03 Operational Performance and 05 Suppliers Dashboards

  • Supplier Performance Manager: 03 Operational Performance, 05 Suppliers, and 06 Contracts Dashboards

  • Supply Chain Executives: 01 Summary, 02 Financial Performance, 03 Operational Performance, 04 Inventory, 05 Suppliers, 06 Contracts, and 07 Products Dashboards

  • Purchasing Buyer: 03 Operational Performance, 05 Suppliers, and 06 Contracts Dashboards

  • Financial Analyst: 02 Financial Performance, 04 Inventory, 06 Contracts, and 07 Products Dashboards

  • Department Manager : 01 Summary, 02 Financial Performance, 04 Inventory, and 07 Products Dashboards

  • Inventory Manager: 04 Inventory and 07 Products Dashboards

  • Inventory Analyst: 04 Inventory and 07 Products Dashboards

  • Warehouse Manager: 04 Inventory Dashboard

  • Warehouse Staff: 04 Inventory Dashboard

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

Note:

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

Creating User Groups in OBIEE

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

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

  • To create new dashboards and reports you must allow some users—OHPSCA 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.

Assigning OBIEE User Groups to Dashboards and Reports

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

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