BI Publisher allows you configure public access to specific reports by defining a "Guest" folder. Any user can access the reports in this folder without entering credentials.
Note:
Guest access is not supported when BI Publisher uses a shared catalog or is installed with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
Guest access is not supported with Single Sign-On.
All objects that are required to view a report must be present in the Guest folder because the Guest folder is the only folder the guest user has any access rights to. Therefore the report and the data model must be present in the Guest folder and Sub Templates and Style Templates, if applicable. The guest user must have read access only.
The Guest user must also be granted access to the report data source.
To enable guest access:
Users who access BI Publisher see the Guest button on the log on page. Users can click this button and view the reports in your chosen guest folder without presenting credentials.
