OTBI - Patching and impact on "Manage Priveleges" set-up

Hi All,

I was not aware so far, but it seems that with each patch, access set-up (Administration/Manage Priveleges) is brought to default values. 

E.g. -  We dont want  Home and Header  - "New Menu" to be granted by default to BI Consumer Role but rather only to BI Administration Role.

Is there a way that we can somehow isolate this area from changes coming from the patch? We do have a checklist what needs to be done when this happens, but I was wondering if we can save ourselves a bit of time and not to do it with each quater patch? 

Regards,
Janko

hi Janko, I will wait to hear if there is an option to isolate these changes.  But if you need to manage thru privileges (Administration -> Manage Privileges), it can be done easily.

thanks,

Santosh

Also experience this same issue, while I haven't seen a solution we backup the setting via simple screen shots and then do a line by line walk through to validate the settings.

I'm told that BI permissions are not preserved during an upgrade.  There is an enhancement request open on the team that manage OBIEE.

Hi all,

I can confirm they are definitely not preserved during an upgrade. Am waiting for the enhancement to avoid redoing the privilege changes....again!!
