Restrict FDI Users who have Author role from dropping a data file.

Bangar Aaloori

Prevent FDI users who have "Author" from dropping a data file.

Navigation:
Home Page > Create > dataset then
User should not be able to drop a datafile.

We are told by FDI Product Expert that we can't customize FDI "Author" role or do not have an option to disable upload of a data file.

@Oracle Analytics Wizard-Oracle and @Jamie Anderson-Oracle , we appreciate your advice and suggestions, and are actually aligned with them. I agree that report development should be done in a lower environment and then migrated to production after the appropriate testing and review, and we do have a folder structure that segregates governed/approved reports from those that are not. However, our users want the ability to quickly pull ad hoc reports and dashboards to support analysis, which is a different use case than reports used on a recurring basis. Additionally, we have almost 200 users in the application, and although they are developing and running reports, they often deliver the reports to leadership for management and executive reporting, and these users would not be able to verify if the reports came from a sanctioned workbook or folder. I welcome other suggestions!

Hi,

We have OAC currently and are moving to FDI. Within OAC we have the facility to grant security permission to a role so that they can create workbook i.e. self serve for ad-hoc reporting needs. We were hoping this capability should be available in FDI too but it isn't and this is impacting our go live. Have voted for this idea and will appreciate if Product Management can prioritise it.

Hi, We have a requirement to restrict users to only create workbooks against datasets and not upload or remove datasets. This feature that granted permissions to tools existed in OAC is not available on FDI. The OAC to FDI migration project is giving more power to the user group on the systems and it is going to add additional governance efforts from the administration team.

It'll be a very helpful feature to have. Upvoted.

This is an example of the gap between FDI and OAC. In OAC, you can control this with the Permissions section in the Roles and Permissions in the console. You can remove the ability to create and edit datasets for the Author Role or even create your own custom role. I tried to find the equivalent to this in FDI and I don't see it available.

It sounds like there are multiple clients who would benefit from seeing this type of feature explored and enabled. I would love to hear from the Oracle team on the possibility, especially because this functionality already exists in OAC. Thank you!

Good Idea

I completely agree with @Corrinne Walkaus This is a very common request that we are receiving from other clients as well
