EPM Workspace file permissions determine who has access to what files or folders and what operations can be performed. You obtain access items as a user, as a group member, or through a role given to you by the system administrator. For information on roles, see the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Security Administration Guide. The level at which you can access items and perform tasks is called access privilege.
Access to specific repository items is controlled by the document owner. Access to operations, such as importing, running jobs, or updating document POV, is controlled through roles. For example, the owner gives you the modify and run access privilege to Job A, but you can run the job only if you have the Job Runner role. The owner gives you the full control access privilege to Document B, so you can open and update the file. For information on setting file permissions, see File Permissions.
Tip: | When equivalent permissions conflict with each other, the permission that grants lesser access takes precedence. |
When you import a file, you become the file owner, and you specify the access level of other users. You might specify that all users can read the file, your group can modify the file, and only you can delete, change access for, and move the file.
