About Managing Users, Groups, Application Roles, and Data Access

As the Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse administrator, one of your initial tasks is to ensure that users have appropriate access to use Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse.

Users need access to objects and data. Access to objects include subject areas or elements of subject areas such as folders and attributes, key metrics, workbooks, and the legacy Oracle BI Enterprise Edition dashboards and answers. You grant access to the users by assigning groups to them. The groups inherit the permissions from the application roles (data and duty) mapped to them. You can merge your security setup only with the main semantic model.

Enhanced Security Capabilities

Create and manage users and groups only in the Configuration page of  Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse in NetSuite. As a Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse administrator, you can perform user-group management. See Creating User Groups for NetSuite Analytics Warehouse. In Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse, you can view the users and groups on the Security page, but you can't create, modify, or delete them.

Use the licensed application roles corresponding to the existing licensed groups. You can assign the licensed application roles to your custom groups. These licensed application roles are mapped by default to the existing prebuilt licensed groups and are associated with the system roles. When you assign these prebuilt licensed groups and custom groups to users, then the applicable users get the system privileges such as Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse administrator, author, and viewer.

For each user you add to the Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse account, assign an NSAW role; such as NSAW Administrator, NSAW Author, or NSAW Viewer. Assign these roles from the Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse Configuration page in NetSuite.
