Before You Begin: Create a Local Superuser

Before you implement any of these security models, first create a local superuser.

The local superuser credentials ensure that you can access the Administration pages of Oracle BI Publisher in case of any unexpected failures in the configured security settings.

To create a local superuser:

1. On the Administration page, click Security Configuration.
2. On the Security Configuration tab, under the Local Superuser region, select Enable Local Superuser, as shown below.
