B Appendix: Application Privileges
Application privileges determine what features and functionality in OAS are available to an application role. Retail Insights grants privileges to different tiers of application roles to allow a business to restrict access to parts of the application that they do not want users to see.
Privileges Granted By Role
The table below shows the privileges that are granted for the specific roles assigned to a user. Roles generally have different levels of access, in the following order:
-
BI Consumer (low-level role, limited access to functionality)
-
BI Author (mid-level role, has access to most functionality)
-
RI Application Administrator (high-level role, intended for business admins and power-users)
-
BI Administrator (system role, restricted access)
Multiple roles can be granted to a single user, as all privileges are additive.
Note:
Role assignments with an asterisk (*) have the specified privilege only within the Shared Folders > Custom location within the RI catalog. This folder is provided specifically for custom business objects that will be created and maintained by the RI Application Administrators.
