Currently in Oracle Analytics Server Data Visualization (DV), authors must either add users one-by-one when sharing workbooks or request administrators to create groups/application roles in the identity provider. This creates unnecessary friction and slows collaboration, especially in environments with many dashboards and changing user groups.
Proposed enhancement:
Allow DV authors to create and manage reusable sharing groups directly within DV.
Example workflow:
- Author creates a group (e.g., Sales Leadership).
- Adds or removes users as needed.
- Shares one or more workbooks with the group.
- Reuses the same group across other workbooks or folders.
Benefits
- Reduces dependency on administrators
- Simplifies sharing for authors
- Enables reusable access groups
- Improves scalability for large DV deployments
This would make DV more self-service and collaborative, especially for organizations with many authors and frequent sharing needs.
