Allow a User to Create Datasets and Workbooks

You can give users permission to perform specific actions in Oracle Analytics. For example, you can enable users to create datasets and workbooks, and access and modify datasets and workbooks through an application role that includes the Create and Edit Datasets and Create and Edit Workbooks permissions.

Note:

The predefined application role DV Content Author includes the permissions Create and Edit Datasets and Create and Edit Workbooks. This means that any user who is a member of DV Content Author (either directly or indirectly) automatically has these permissions.

1. Create a new application role called Allow Dataset and Workbook Creation (or use a similar name).
   See Add Your Own Application Roles.
2. Add the permissions Create and Edit Datasets and Create and Edit Workbooks.
   See Grant and Revoke Permissions for Application Roles.
3. Assign the new application role Allow Dataset and Workbook Creation to a user or a group.
   See Assign Application Roles to Users or Assign Application Roles to Groups.
4. Give users with the Allow Dataset and Workbook Creation application role access to one or more datasets and one or more workbooks.

   These users can access and edit datasets and workbooks, and create datasets and workbooks.
