Hi,

Anyone know whether the proxy (Act As) or impersonation functionality is going to get supported in OACS?

Thanks!

Nil.

    Requirements related to Act-As are re-evaluated regularly, but at present, we are not planning anything in OAC.

    The old OBIEE Act-As functionality was based on the old 10g (and earlier) security model based on Init Block authentication and SSO just for answers and dashboards. Any future approach to provide equivalent functionality would need to be across the whole stack (Data Visualization, Data Prep, etc) and it would need to work using the OCI authentication and SSO capabilities. As the OCI IAM evolves we will continue to evaluate whether a suitable Act-as / impersonation feature might be viable.

    OAS is independent of OAC in this regard as it is not based on OCI authentication and SSO. However, the same cross-stack implications still apply.

    If you want to request new features, look if the same has been posted as an idea. If you can find it, up-vote it. If you can't find it, post an idea requesting (and describing the benefits) of the feature.
