Security dialog: Business Area - > User tab

Use this tab to grant or revoke multiple user access to a single business area. For example, to give a group of Discoverer end users access to the Video Store Tutorial business area so that users can use the sample data to learn about Discoverer Plus.

To grant a single user access to multiple business areas at once, use the "Security dialog: Users - > Business Area tab".

For more information, see:

"Controlling Access to Information"

Notes

  • Before displaying the folders in a business area, Discoverer checks if the user has database access to the tables referenced in the folders. If they don't have the necessary permission, Discoverer does not display the folders. You can override this check by changing the value of the ObjectsAlwaysAccessible registry setting (for more information, see ObjectsAlwaysAccessible in "Discoverer Registry Settings").

  • When logged in as an Oracle Applications user, the term Role is replaced with Responsibility.

  • You can select more than one user or role by pressing the Ctrl key and clicking another user or role.
