Ability to Hide seeded folders

Juan Rendon

We need to have the option to hide seeded folders and have them available only for admins, currently seeded folders can't be modified and them we are not able to hide them this is causing some users to get confused and running seeded reports by mistake.

Hi Juan , Can you please check new FAW Content duty roles delivered per subject area. If a user does not have access a specific subject area related content duty role then he/she will not be able to see any pre-built ( OOTB ) content related to that specific subject area. Please check and confirm if this meets your requirement.

Regards,

Hi Nupur,

Are you referring to 'OAC' content duty roles? For example, there are two duty roles, one called "Accounts Payable Aging Analysis Content Duty" and other is "Accounts Payable Aging Analysis OAC Content Duty" so which content duty would we revoke access away (or both) from business users so they do not see out-of-the-box related content against the "Financials - AP Aging" subject area?

Actually, there are 3 duty roles for "Accounts Payable Aging"

So which one would we not give business users to hide the applicable out-of-the-box reports?

You can review the permissions for the Folder which provides information on the Duty roles assigned to secure the folder.

You can then decide to remove those duty roles from your Job role in FAW to remove access to the out of the box folder/Object.

Below is a screenshot for the Accounts Payable Folder.

Awesome, yes this should do the trick! Will test and confirm.

Thanks Krishna and Nupur!!

So, if we remove all out-of-the-box duty roles from an end user then they won't see any out-of-the-box reports (from whatever pillars/applications one has) in the Oracle folder. From there, if I add specific OOTB duty roles, then I'll see those associated OOTB folders and its content (thus, associating an end user with only appropriate OOTB duty roles will allow them access to associated folders and content they should see; and whatever content needs to be 'hidden', they can strip those associate duty roles from an end user so they don't see the folder and its contents).

But in this case, wouldn't this remove the ability for an author to use that (or those) out-of-the-box subject area(s) for ad-hoc reporting?

Hi team , we have a similar requirement. We want to reserve the Seeded Oracle folder to the service admins.

By the suggestion above, we should go ahead and remove all content duty roles for the seeded folders ( Oracle and all subfolders) and just keep read/write access for service admins.

I tried removing Absence Management Analysis Content Duty role and when I try to save , the actions fails with error "Failed to Update Permissions"

Is this only for OTBI?

Thanks for sharing @Varun Malhotra-Support-Oracle!
