In a License analysis we came to know that in

Financial Analyst Role

the Privilege

"Manage Period Close Activities" is triggering "Oracle Fusion Enterprise Resource Planning Cloud Service - Hosted Named User" license but after removing this privilege users are not able to access / period open close options in some OTBI reports.

How can we get this access shorted??

Is there any OBI privileges or duty roles that can solve this bypassing the privilege

"Manage Period Close Activities" .

Hi Protyush,

The duty roles that give you permission to issue SQL using a subject area in the metadata repository database RPD in OTBI are typically not included in the list of privileges used to count a user as a "hosted named user" for a subscription as a hosted named user to a service part number .

A custom read only role using the transaction analysis duty role for a subject area as you can see below does not count as a use of service. But obviously check with your customer success manager before trusting something you read from a stranger on the internet than may impact your costs!

Assume by "users are not able to access / period open close in OTBI" you mean you want to make it so your users may query subject area General Ledger - Period Status Real Time?

https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/financials/24d/faofb/General-Ledger--Period-Status-Real-Time-SA-16.html

which requires

The following duty roles secure access to this subject area:

General Ledger Transaction Analysis Duty

Payables to Ledger Reconciliation Transaction Analysis Duty

Receivables to Ledger Reconciliation Transaction Analysis Duty

or if a different subject area then review the user guide for that subject area

https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/otbi/fa-index.html

To get this list of privileges for each licence part number "service" you can

1) look in the public PDF on their website "Metric Descriptions for Oracle Fusion Offerings " F41298-33
2024-04-08 https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/j4s/famet/metric-descriptions-fusion-offerings.pdf

2) review your SaaS Service Usage Metric "Hosted Named User Usage Drill Through" report that you get from our host each month

3) or you can look in the value set values in the application database ORA_PER_METRICS_SETS

For example, from the PDF part number B91079 Oracle Fusion Enterprise
Resource Planning Cloud
Service - Hosted Named User is active users with at least one of 32 privileges which does not include the privileges in the read only "transaction analysis" duty roles for any subject areas
