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

Question

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??

Regards,

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??

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.

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.
