Manage Presentation Services Privileges

The catalog for your instance includes a security policy for Presentation Services privileges. These privileges determine access permission to Presentation Services functionality and catalog objects.

When you import an application archive (BAR) file, Oracle Analytics Server uses the security policy for the Presentation Services functionality and catalog.

You use application roles to manage privileges. When groups are assigned to application roles, the group members are automatically granted associated privileges in Presentation Services. This is in addition to the Oracle Analytics Server permissions.

Tip:

A list of application roles that a user is a member of is available from the Roles and Groups tab in the My Account dialog.

About Presentation Services Privileges

Presentation Services privileges are managed in the Administration Manage Privileges page, and they grant or deny access to features, such as the creation of analyses and dashboards.

Being a member of an application role that has been assigned Presentation Services privileges will grant those privileges to the user. The Presentation Services privileges assigned to application roles can be modified by adding or removing privilege grants using the Manage Privileges page in Presentation Services Administration.

Presentation Services privileges can be granted to users both explicitly and by inheritance. However, explicitly denying a Presentation Services privilege takes precedence over user access rights either granted or inherited as a result of group or application role hierarchy.
