Data Security

Question

OBIEE 12c

I would like to be able to apply security by masking a column or hiding it on a report if a person is in a specific group. I am not sure what the overall process for doing this in the RPD would be. Can anyone provide the steps I would need to take.

Hi,

You have to set permissions on the column in the subject area. So you find the column in the presentation layer of the RPD, open the properties and there you find the permissions.

Keep in mind that there "READ" win over "NO ACCESS", so if your user is also member of an application role giving him a "READ" permission he will still see the column.
