Description

In Oracle Analytics Server 'Home' page, we have an issue when users logging in can view all subject areas, all projects, data flows etc... even though the users logging in have been restricted to access this in the RPD and with application roles. We would like to have the ability to restrict users from seeing all items in the Home page.  Users are unable to load the data returned if they happen to click on an item that has been restricted, however if a user has been restricted access, they should not see it anywhere.

Can I request this be reviewed by the relevant team? I previously raised an SR on this and currently it is not possible to restrict the view within the Home page in OAS

 

Use Case and Business Need

We will be migrating over a large number of users into OAS over the next number of weeks and we need to be able to restrict the views of content in the Home page of OAS. The titles of certain reports/projects and subject areas should not be seen to users if they do not have access. 

We do not want users from other areas of the business viewing what others have been granted to.  Title such as 'Finance KPIs' is not something a low level user should be aware of.

More details

OAS has no ability to restrict areas of the Home page or other sections. Unlike the OBIEE 11g and 12c application, the administrator could access the 'Manage Privilege' section in Administrator and update each area with who can view that particular area in Answers. 

I would like something that would restrict views in the Home Page.  Or the ability to not show all icons in the Home page, only those which a user has been granted access to

    I completely agree - users should be restricted on DV Home page to see only objects (Subject Areas, data sets etc...), they are entitled to see, based on their privileges (assignments to application roles), they should not see all objects. I consider this behavior as a Bug , which should be fixed very soon.

    I think this is really important, this is very confusing that end users will have more visible subject area's on the home page than when they create a dv project.

    Only showing content the user has access to is how the home page works and if you are seeing dataset or workbook that the user does not have access to then likely something is wrong with the artifacts access setup. If you use manage privileges to 'hide' SA from Answers then this is not currently honored on home page.

    I wish we could take it a little farther. I would like to have full customization control over the page.

    I wish Oracle exposed a full API (REST or otherwise), opening possibilities for OAC admins and developers to:

    • integrate OAC with our own enterpise applications,
    • Customize all visual aspects of the pages being rendered.
    • automate tasks that we still have to do manually

    Hi Marcello,

    Is your use case more focused on 'skinning/white labelling' the home page or are you looking at controlling the content on the home page ?

    if the latter, can you elaborate on how you what you expect to control from a layout perspective ?
