Is it possible to have an OBIEE 12c user that only has access to one subfolder of Shared Folders?

Question

Hi!

I need to organize catalog permissions as follows:

A certain role should not be able to access any folder in Shared Folders except one folder.

This role should be able to run any of the analyses existing in that one folder.

It would be possible if I could apply permissions on all the subfolders but for one role only while preserving all other permission of all folders intact.

Thanks

Alex

Shared Folders is a special thing, setting "No access" there isn't enforced.

But set it to anything else and it will work.

And you said that this role should have access to just one directory inside Shared Folder, so your test was anyway for something you weren't interested in ;-)

Test it on one of the folders inside Shared Folder and you will see it does work as expected.

Gianni,

Thanks for the prompt answer!!!

Actually I tried to do this by giving a "restrictung role" no access on Shared Folders

The user has 3 roles: "restrictung role", "BI Consumer", "Authenticated User"

However when I log in with this user, I can see Shared Folders and all it's subfolders.

How can this be?

Thanks,

Alex
