    How have you set up your security? ... currently, as asked, your question is impossible to answer.

    For example in Project Module Dashboard (Project Offering)

    I need to create user ebs_fin that can view only Project Dashboards and can retrieve it's data

    I know what you want (end result) ... I don't know what you have done.  I'll assume nothing is done ...

    You can integrate EBS security into OBIA (it's documented by Oracle how to do it)

    OR

    you can build your own using various combinations of  LDAP/WLS/EM/RPD/Catalog/DB to achieve what you want. 

    The second option gives you more control (flexibility too) ... basically it's putting users into LDAP groups, LDAP groups are then membered to EM roles and then you use those roles to control access, permission, filtering, etc. 

    My strong suggestion is to plan out your roles in EXCEL first and make sure you know what the EFFECTIVE permission will be for any/all users onces you've put them in roles (it's easy to have a user in a role that negates the purpose of another role they are in).
