Description

There is no API available for Oracle Analytics Cloud, that enables us to automate the process of assigning roles and permissions to a new user. Today, we are doing it by going to multiple places involving multiple steps.

Our requirement

1. To have an API that enables us to automate the process of assigning roles and permissions to a new user
2. To have a service dashboard or an API through which we could list the roles and permissions of an existing user

Thanks,

Chethana

Use Case and Business Need

The business usecase for requirement1 is that, for every new user today, we need to add them as an IDCS registered user, add them to a group in OCI, provide required access to specific dataset/s, shared folder/s/project/s. With API available for this, it would save us a lot of time and we could automate these steps.

The business usecase for requirement2 is that, often customers come back and say, "they do not have access or permission to a particular folder or a project/report in OAC, they do not have permissions to save/edit a report and so on." If there is a dashboard or an API that lists all roles and permissions pertaining to a user, that would be really very helpful, in this regard.
