About the Security Policy

The security policy is split across Presentation Services, the semantic model, and the policy store.

Presentation Services

Presentation Services defines the specific catalog objects and functionality that users can access with specific application roles. Access to functionality is defined in the Managing Privileges page and access to catalog objects is defined in the Permission dialog.

Semantic Model

The semantic model defines the metadata items in the semantic model that user can access with assignment to specific application roles. You can define the security policy using Model Administration Tool.

Policy Store

The Policy Store defines the BI Server and Publisher functionality that user can access with specific application roles. In the default Oracle Analytics Server configuration, the policy store is managed using the grant and revoke scripts or by using Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST).
