About Data Visibility Rules

When you use the Oracle CRM On Demand Report Services API, the user account you use to sign on to Oracle CRM On Demand through the API determines what visibility rules are applied. The Oracle CRM On Demand Report Services API retrieves the same data that users get when the report is run from within Oracle CRM On Demand. All Manager, Team, Book and Role-Based Record Type visibilities are maintained.

If you sign on with an account that has full visibility, then the API delivers a report that shows all applicable rows of data. It might not be appropriate to share this report with users who do not normally have access to such data.

The user account must have the Access Analytics Reports privilege and also have access permissions to the shared folder that contains the reports.

Companies that want to automate executing and retrieving reports by using their infrastructure must consider their data security and privacy policies.
