Add One Predefined Application Role to Another (Advanced)

Oracle Analytics Cloud provides several predefined roles: BI Service Administrator, BI Data Model Author, BI Dataload Author, BI Content Author, DV Content Author, DV Consumer, BI Consumer. In a very few advanced use cases, you might want to permanently include one predefined application role in another.

Any changes that you make to predefined application roles are permanent, so don’t perform this task unless you're sure you need to.

1. Take a snapshot of your system before making any predefined application role change.
   Oracle recommends that you always take a snapshot before you start, as the only way you can revert changes to predefined application roles is to restore your service from a snapshot that was taken before the change.
   1. Click Console.
   2. Click Snapshots.
   3. Click Create Snapshot.
2. In Console, click Roles and Permissions.
3. Click Application Roles.
4. Click the name of the predefined application role you want to change.
5. Under Members, click Application Roles to see which application roles the selected application role is currently a member of.
6. Click Add Application Roles.
   By default, none of the predefined application roles are available.
