Add a User

Administrators can add users to Opower Analytics Visualization and manage user permissions through the Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS) administration console.

Note:

This procedure can only be completed after you have received a URL to your IDCS administration console and created a password. Your Oracle Utilities Service Delivery Manager will email you the URL and password creation instructions.

To set up a user:

1. Navigate to the IDCS administration console you received from your Service Delivery Manager. Tip: Bookmark the URL so that you can easily find it later.
2. Complete the following procedure to add a new user: Create User Accounts.
3. Complete the following procedure to assign one or more groups to the user: Assign Groups to the User Account. In most cases, you should assign the user to all four groups: BIContentAuthor, BIConsumer, DVContentAuthor, and DVConsumer. The table below defines the permissions in each group.

   Group	Permissions
   BIContentAuthor	Provides read and write access to BI Publisher, a tool for creating reports. Provides read-only access to Data Visualization, a tool for creating graphs and visualizations.
   BIConsumer	Provides read-only access to BI Publisher. View and explore reports.
   DVContentAuthor	Provides read and write access to Data Visualization. Create, delete, modify, and view visualizations.
   DVConsumer	Provides read-only access to Data Visualization. View and explore visualizations.

The users you add will receive a confirmation email with a link to activate their account and set a password. When this is done, they can log in to the application.
