Allow a User to Export Workbooks to PDF

You can give users permission to perform specific actions in Oracle Analytics. For example, you can enable users to export workbooks to PDF through an application role that includes the Export Workbook to Document permission.

Note:

The predefined application role BI Consumer includes the permission Export Workbook to Document. This means that any user who is a member of BI Consumer (either directly or indirectly) automatically has this permission.

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

   These users can access workbooks and export the content to PDF.
