About Users, Groups, and Application Roles

When you install and configure Oracle Analytics Server, you select an application (BAR file) to install into your initial service instance. The application you select determines your instance's initial security policy.

The imported security policy includes the application role definitions, the application role memberships, permission set definitions, permission definitions, permission set grants, permission grants, and the Presentation Services and semantic model security policy.

You can use the application roles and permission grants provided by the application you chose during install or you can modify them as needed. If a development team creates an Oracle Analytics Server application, then they don't have to use the default application roles and permissions and can define and name the application roles and permission grants specific to their applications.
