2 About OTBI Enterprise Security

All OTBI Enterprise users with appropriate roles can access dashboards and reports as well as create new analyses and dashboards using data from subject areas relevant to their job functions.

Enterprise Roles and Duty Roles determine object and data security in OTBI Enterprise. Enterprise Roles and Duty Roles are referred to differently in some Oracle products.

  • An Enterprise Role consists of a specific job consisting of duties, such as human resources line manager, recruiting vice president, or application implementation administrator. This role is associated with one or more users directly, and inherits a set of Duty Roles that provide access to functionality and data within the application. An administrator creates required Enterprise Roles as part of your security implementation.

  • A Duty Role is a group of functional and data privileges representing one duty of a job, such as compensation analysis or recruitment analysis. Duty roles are not assigned directly to users, but associated to one or more Enterprise Roles, through which a user obtains the privileges of the duty. For example, access to specific Subject Areas, Dashboards, reports, and the application of data filters are controlled by the Duty Role a user inherits through their assigned Enterprise Roles.
