Groups and Application Roles Difference




An Example Security Setup Using the Installed Groups andApplication Roles


This example uses a small set of Users, Groups, and Application Roles to illustrate
how you set up a security policy using the default Groups and Application Roles that
are installed and pre-configured out-of-the-box. In this example, you want to
implement the following:
Three users named User1, User2, and User3, who need to view business
intelligence reports.
Two users named User4 and User5, who need to create business intelligence
reports.
Two users named User6 and User7, who administer Oracle Business Intelligence.
The figure below shows the Users, Groups, and Application Roles that you would
deploy to implement this security model.
Figure 2–2 Example Groups, Application Roles, and Users




The example above shows the following:
The Group named 'BIConsumers' contains User1, User2, and User3. Users in the
Group 'BIConsumers' are assigned the Application Role named 'BIConsumer',
which enables the users to view reports.
The Group named 'BIAuthors' contains User4 and User5. Users in the Group
'BIAuthors' are assigned the Application Role named 'BIAuthors', which enables
the users to create reports.
The Group named 'BIAdministrators' contains User6 and User7. Users in the
Group 'BIAdministrators' are assigned the Application Role named
'BIAdministrator', which enables the users to manage responsibilities.
