Access within Oracle BI Answers previlage section is gone in 12.2.1.2?

I usually managed which presentation layer access through Administration/Manage Privilege page where it lists all Subject Area names and assign user group to it.

12.2.1.2 doesn't have it in there.

How can locate that section?

Thanks.~

OBIEE 12.2.1.2.0

It's still there, didn't move at all

But users groups (catalog groups) are deprecated and doesn't exist anymore, so you can grant/deny application roles and users.

Also keep in mind this isn't really security, doesn't prevent the users to query the subject area and get data back, it only hide the subject area when creating a new analysis.

Thanks.~

So what do I do to control or hide from the user group?..

From the user group?

As the concept of group doesn't exist anymore you must use something else.

Already in 11.1.1.9 it was advised to move away from groups and use application roles instead.

So I imagine you have an application role replacing your group and you can use that one to grant/deny.

If this isn't what you look for or doesn't make sense you will need to post more details about your setup and what you are exactly trying to do.

Thanks.. yes Gianni, the Role as you mentioned.

I found the section on BI administrator to give/deny access to that presentation layer.
