Custom Subject Area Security

You can secure a custom subject area by granting or revoking access rights from the role names that access the custom subject area. This topic covers how you can grant or revoke access rights from those role names.

For information about custom subject area data source security in Oracle Analytics Publisher, see Public Sector Compliance and Regulation Custom Subject Area Security Guide for Implementation (Doc ID 2730290.1) in My Oracle Support.

Managing Role Names and Access Rights

While defining a custom subject area using the train stops, you can use the Actions list in the Configure Security step to manage role names and access rights.

Note: You cannot delete the role name listed as Everyone.

Read access is granted by default. If you want to revoke Read access from a listed role name, select No access for that role name.

You can create custom subject areas even for the objects in which you do not have access to the data, which allows you to build custom subject areas without compromising data security.
