Can we assign administrative rights like weblogic to any other application roles

Question

Hi All,

I have a requirement where we need to create a new application role and add users to that role . And when we login with weblogic whatever new folders/reports/dashboards that are created exclusively for that new application role it should not be visible. Can this be possible to achieve.. I have already created a new application role and assigned users to that role. But all the reports & dashboards are created with weblogic user only. So how is it possible to hide those reports & dashboards from weblogic..They must be visible only to that new application role users.

Thanks !

Yes, of course it is, because it's a bit weird to use "weblogic" for creation and the  expect things to be "hidden" from him.

It would be good if you understood how security works though before attempting to revamp it: http://www.slideshare.net/GianniCeresa/obiee-security-its-a-jungle-out-there

Yes, we use weblogic user to create reports & dashboards and use the same user for migrations. If that is the case is it possible for us to create another user with admin access similar to weblogic and use that user to create those specific reports & dashboards..

So are you saying that "Only the user weblogic is ever used to create reports and dashbaords"? Because if you use that user to create content then of course it's visible to him...

For the rest: Yes your request is doable but I'd be careful because if you lock out weblogic (or any other admin-type user/application role) then you may run into issues where your content becomes inaccessible.
