OBIEE Agent add email recipient option is not visible on user other than weblogic

Hi  Guys,

I faced an issue. I was trying to create an agent using a normal user. I cant find the add email recipient option in it to add a local email. I find this option available at weblogic user.

1.) Which exact version?

2.) Have you checked the privileges granted to the user / application role that fails?

Guys i found the solution .

Go to Administration --> Manage Privelages --> Delivers Block---> Deliver Agents to Specific or Dynamically Determined Users

add the specific user to allow him this feature.

You maybe want to consider granting the privilege to an application role and make your user member of that application role, as Christian said above.

It's a general good practice to never set any privilege or permission on a named user but always use application roles for obvious reasons.

+1 to Gianni. I pointed out the privileges because that's where the issue obviously was and said "application roles".

You'll never be able to keep track of "who has the right to do what and why he/she has this right" if you start doing things on a user-by-user basis. Your security will be total chaos.
