20 Information Access Control

Information Access Control (IAC) provides a flexible and scalable framework for managing user-level access to data within our reporting and analytics systems. IAC enables administrators to define, at both a global and dimension-specific level, which users are permitted to view specific data elements (such as products, legal entities, or custom dimensions), directly supporting fine-grained row-level security.

With IAC, mapping tables define user entitlements for each dimension and dimension member, and enable or disable access centrally. When IAC is enabled for a dimension, users see only the data members they are authorized to view.

Users can enable IAC during provisioning of the application by contacting Oracle Support team. Once IAC is enabled in the application, it is mandatory for users to be mapped to the relevant IAC user group to view the Dimension details under the Balance Computation Results and Results subject area reports.

Note:

Once IAC is enabled in the application, it cannot be disabled or reverted through the application.
