Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence Security

Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence is a real-time, self-service reporting solution. Application users with appropriate roles can use Transactional Business Intelligence to create analyses that support decision making. Business users can also perform current-state analysis of their business applications using various tools.

These include Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition as the standard query and reporting tool, Oracle Business Intelligence Answers, and Oracle Business Intelligence Dashboard user tools. This topic summarizes how access is secured to Transactional Business Intelligence subject areas, Business Intelligence Catalog folders, and Business Intelligence reports.

Subject Areas

Subject areas are functionally secured using duty roles. The names of duty roles that grant access to subject areas include the words Transaction Analysis Duty (for example, Workforce Transaction Analysis Duty).

This table identifies the subject areas that predefined HCM job roles can access.

Analyses fail if the user can't access all subject areas in a report.

Business Intelligence Catalog Folders

Business Intelligence Catalog folders are functionally secured using the same duty roles that secure access to the subject areas. Therefore, a user who inherits the Workforce Transaction Analysis Duty can access:

  • The Workforce Management folder in the Business Intelligence Catalog

  • The Workforce Management subject areas

Business Intelligence Reports

Analyses are secured based on the folders in which they're stored. If you haven't secured Business Intelligence reports using the report privileges, then they're secured at the folder level by default. You can set permissions against folders and reports for Application Roles, Catalog Groups, or Users.

You can set permissions to:

  • Read, Execute, Write, or Delete

  • Change Permissions

  • Set Ownership

  • Run Publisher Report

  • Schedule Publisher Report

  • View Publisher Output
