Restricting access to a Profiler app using Oracle Eloqua Security Groups

There are certain circumstances where you may want to restrict who can access an app installed in Profiler. A couple of use cases to consider:

  • You are running an app pilot with a select set of trusted power users within the sales team.
  • The app is provided by a third party and requires a paid license that is not available to all sales users i.e. an account based application where licenses are only available for strategic account managers and not inside sales.
  • The App Access section within Profiler’s global settings will allow you to control who has access to an app you’ve installed.
  1. Click ConfigureAn image of the Settings menu icon, which is represented by a black cog. in the Profiler page of the AppCloud Catalog.
  2. Open the App Access tab.
  3. Check the box beside Allow access only to these to security group(s).

    Note: When an app is installed, it is available to all users by default. If the box beside Allow access to security groups is checked but no security groups are selected, then all security groups are granted access.

  4. From the Select a security group drop-down, select the Oracle Eloqua security groups containing users that should be granted access to the Profiler app.

    Important: The listed security groups have been configured in Eloqua. Additionally, modifying access settings will immediately change access for users, including deletion of user settings.

  5. Click Save.
