Understanding Oracle Analytics Server

Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) users are set up separately from EnterpriseOne users. Within EnterpriseOne, a system administrator can set up different securities to control a user's access to certain applications or functionality.

Oracle Analytics Server (OAS) has various granularities of security at the folder, report, and data level, which are not provided by EnterpriseOne. EnterpriseOne only controls how to map a user to the OAS user defined by the soft coding values.

When a EnterpriseOne user is viewing OAS content, the system uses the mapped Oracle Analytics Server user account to set up the connection and authentication with the Oracle Analytics Server. Any security setup for that OAS user is enforced by the Oracle Analytics Server. For example, the user could navigate from an assigned root folder to another subfolder or could navigate to a dashboard from an action link on a report. It is the administrator's responsibility to protect sensitive objects and data on the OAS by using the access control list provided by Oracle Analytics Server. This protection is highly recommended.
