OBIEE 12c - Object Level security on Dashboard homepage based on Image Links

Avinash Pentyala

Hi All,

I’ve five dashboards and contains multiple pages and created dashboard homepage with 5 images linked to dashboards. When the user clicks business images it will be navigated to respective dashboards.I placed 5 images into different sections in the new dashboard, we have three application roles based on these application roles I need to provide access. when users log in they were able to see all images but based on their role access other images are in disable mode.

Kindly advise how can we do this at OBIEE level??

You can place the images in different sections and add section permissions.

Below is a blog with more details.

I have displayed all images when the user's login but need to recited Image navigation which user don't have access on the dashboard.

The section permissions and the dashboard permissions needs to be same.  Example if a user has access to only 3 dashboards he will only be able to view the 3 images and can navigate to the three dashboards when clicking on the respective images.

My requirement was to displaying all section images, let say I have 5 Images and User A having 3 dashboard access and User B have access on 2 dashboards. when user A, B login they were able to all 5 images but User A can able to navigate to three images dashboard and reaming two images disabled mode or pop up window to say you don't privileges.

I would prefer showing only images for which user has access, However if you would like to get your required functionality you can create two sections for each dashboard navigation and add section conditions.

The first section includes image with required dashboard as destination with a section condition of count >= 1

second section includes image with no destination with a section condition of count  < 1.

The conditional analysis  can be a simple analysis on the groups assigned to a user, if group is assigned to a user, you would show 1st section else end section.

Yes, it's a guided navigation approach. the problem here they don't want to use multiple sections.

is there any another way to do this?? using java scripts??
