About Integrating with Other Oracle Security Models

This chapter describes how to integrate BI Publisher with other Oracle product security models.

In most cases you must first define the BI Publisher functional roles in the other Oracle product and then configure BI Publisher to use the other Oracle product security for authorization. You can use one of the Oracle product authorization methods described here in conjunction with a supported authentication method (SSO or LDAP) described in Alternative Security Options.

For conceptual information regarding BI Publisher roles and permissions, see Understanding BI Publisher Users, Roles, and Permissions.
