How to Provide Access to Logistics Machine Learning Intelligence for a User

By default an Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) user does not have access to view Logistics Machine Learning Intelligence. If you log on to OTM and click Transportation Intelligence > Dashboard or any of the other Transportation Intelligence menu options and you see the “Not authorized. User should configure BI App in the User Manager to access TI.” message, you do not have access to Logistics Machine Learning  Intelligence. This topic will explain the process required to grant an existing OTM user access to Logistics Machine Learning Intelligence.

To access Logistics Machine Learning Intelligence, you will need to be an OTM user with the appropriate Business Intelligence Role and correct VPD profile. At a high level, the process required to provide access to Logistics Machine Learning Intelligence includes the following steps:

1. Create a new user role in OTM which includes setting the VPD Profile to FTI_DEFAULT.
2. Edit an existing OTM user and complete the following:
   1. Assign the user role created previously.
   2. Specify the Business Intelligence Application of LML.
   3. Specify Business Intelligence Roles for example BICONSUMER and BIADMINISTRATOR.
3. Finally, you load the data from OTM in to Logistics Machine Learning Intelligence.

Now let’s review each step in more detail.

Creating a New User Role

To create a new user role in OTM, complete the following:

1. Go to Configuration and Administration > User Management > User Role.
2. Click New at the bottom of the page.
3. Enter a User Role ID.
4. Enter a Level.
5. Select a VPD Profile ID of FTI_DEFAULT.
   
   This VPD Profile is applicable for all Logistics Machine Learning Intelligence users. This includes all the external predicates available in the existing DEFAULT OTM VPD profile and the new external predicates specific to the Logistics Machine Learning Intelligence solution’s Historical Database tables.

6. And finally, make sure you have an Access Control, User Role Grants, and User Grants set for the user role as appropriate.
   
   For more details on setting access control, see the Access Control Lists help topic.
7. Click Finished.

3. Add a User Role ID with the appropriate VPD Profile ID and Access Control.
