    @satya_nvs - Applying data-level security to the WebLogic or admin user is not recommended. Here’s why:

    1. Administrator Role: WebLogic and admin users are typically assigned superuser privileges, allowing them to have unrestricted access to all system components, configurations, and data. Restricting their access with data-level security could interfere with their ability to manage the environment effectively.
    2. Best Practices: Instead of applying data-level security to WebLogic or admin users, it is better to ensure these users are limited to necessary roles and responsibilities. Data-level security should be applied to regular users who need access control over specific data.

    Therefore, it's best to avoid applying data-level security to the WebLogic or admin user and instead focus on properly managing privileges for operational roles.

    Hi @Sumanth V -Oracle i totally agree with your points. But we have got a requirement for couple of our HR reports to apply the data security for weblogic as the weblogic password is available with the core development and prod support team.

    Just wanted to check if the datalevel security can be applied to weblogic only for those reports or not.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • @satya_nvs It is not possible as the user 'weblogic' has BI Administrator application role.
