Enabling a Local Superuser

BI Publisher enables you to define an administration Superuser.

Using the Superuser credentials you can directly access the BI Publisher administrative functions without logging in through the defined security model.

Set up this Superuser to ensure access to all administrative functions in case of failures with the configured security model. It is highly recommended that you set up a Superuser. Catalog operations are not available to a Superuser, if BI Publisher is configured to use Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition catalog,

To enable a local superuser:

1. Click Administration.
2. Under Security Center, click Security Configuration.
3. Under Local Superuser, select the box and enter the credentials for the Superuser, as shown below.
