Data Level Security from rpd to Weblogic Server

Hi,
Req: To implement data level security through weblogic or external authenticator OID
Current implementation: Created a grop in rpd UserG and configured permission settings with respect to subject area and assigned this group to users.
such that, When User1 log in he will see his data and when User2 log in repective data
New implementaion: We have to achive this data level security through weblogic or external authenticator OID
How to acheive this?
Thanks in advance!

You can choose where to get the groups from either database or any provider and map them to Application roles in EM, but you would have to set up your data restrictions thru Application roles in RPD on your Facts and Dims based on your requirement.
Now if your looking for bringing External groups using BISQLGroupProvider then refer to:
How-to: OID Authentication with Groups Stored in an External Database Table - OBIEE 11g ~ Ask John OBIEE - Oracle Busine…
For database groups with users mapped in it those tables then you can refer to:
Jonathan's Tech Journey: OBIEE 11g Security part 1
Hope this helps.

Order Management Data Level Security

Hi All,
I have worked on OBIEE standalone and implemented data level security from custom data warehouse but never worked on BI Apps.Currently I am working Order Management and trying to implement data level security but I have no clue which OOTB init block to use for it.When i check the Order Management Group's--> permission there is no filter condition on them which i am thinking there no data level security on OM may i thinking wrong.Here is req users must able to see data by Division and Region they belong to and I am trying use OOTB security option for it OR do i need to build custom init block and related keys in all the sales order fact tables to implement it.
Any documentation or links or information will be appreciated.
This might be silly question but I would find a way better way.Please let me know if you need any information.
Thanks

Forgot to mention :Soruce is Oracle EBS

Data Level Security In OBIEE 11g based on the filters setup in RPD

Hello All,
We are trying to implement the data level security on a BI publisher report that is using BI server as the data source. The filters are created in the RPD based on user login ( session variable USER). From the documentation of BI publisher, I see that you have to enable the option Use Proxy Authentication to pass the user information down to BI publisher from OBIEE when using BI server as the data source to implement row-level security. After checking that option, the BI pub report does not render anymore. This is all in 11g. Can anyone help me with where I am going wrong?
Regards,
-Amith.

Data level security filter to groups imported from database

The groups that a user belongs to are stored in a table in the database. How do I create a group in the rpd to define data level security filters when the group name is retrieved from the database table depending on who logs in. One user can be a part of several groups.
Please help.

I created the groups manually in the rpd first and assigned security filters to the group. The same group was created in the presentation services assigning some object level security (dashboard pages visibility). But the user picks the groups (row wise initialization) correctly and not the security filters applied to the group in the rpd. The privileges to the group in the presentation services works fine. Why is the group definition in the rpd being bypassed.

Data level Security with Oracle Apps as Source

Hi all
I am implementing Data level Security with Apps as Source(OLTP) on Single Sign On.(Oracle has provided the Vanila rpd & we are working on that)
I need to Filter data based on Business Group, Users are created in Apps and they are registered with some Responsibilities.
(for eg, OBI User CHINA is a Responsibility; Now he will get only Business Group ID for China)
I have created Groups in rpd with same name as the responsibility in Apps.
I have created Initialization Blocks from which I m getting only 1 business group ID for every :USER.(I tried the code in TOAD & I m getting the correct BG ID)
I have created Group in WEB with the same name as the Group name in rpd.
If I say show all Users and Groups in WEB, I m getting the APPS Users.
I hv Reloaded the server metadata files and restarted the BI Server/WEB Server also...
But in the Report, I m getting all the Business Group Ids,
Plz advice if I m doing something wrong.
ThanQ
Anand

You need to be creating your "business groups" as a group in the RPD, init blocks to retrieve the user business group at login. Filters in the Logical table sources to restrict data to relevant business groups only.
Presentation 'Web Cat' groups with the same name as the RPD groups so a user inherits membership automatically.
I'd suggest sourcing a vanilla OBIA rpd to see how it is implemented out of the box.

Data Level Security issue

Hello Gurus:
I am having a problem with Data Level security.
I copied my Production RPD and Webcat in Test, changed connection pool DSN and user/passwords.
Now the problem is, a user who has same rights in Prod and Test, is seeing properly in Production, but sees nothing in Test.
I am using initialization block from Siebel CRM Application. So customers are assigned to users based on their responsibility from S_RESP and S_USER.
based on that, users can see the list of customers. Authentication is LDAP, same server for production and Test.
Now, a user sees properly assigned list in Production, but not in Test. I dont know how to solve it. I searched query logs and stuff, but couldnt find anything.
Please help me how should I investigate this issue.
Thanks.
Vinay

Thanks for quick reply Stijn:
Here are my inputs..
1)"they see nothing"? means the dont see any customers in drop down. This is data level and not related to column or subject area. The only filter I use is
"ATLAS Reports"."Dim - Accounts Hierarchy".LVL1ANC_ID = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."ORGS")
This filter is applied to Customer hierarchy and couple of sensitive facts.
The users are able to see all products because filter is not applied. I disabled the filter, and users could see everything. But I cant disable this in Production.
2) What is the physical sql generated by the report? Set the loglevel of a user to a higher level in order to seet this.
I am not able to set higher loglevel because i dont see the user in repository. All I see is GROUP, and they are assigned to particular groups based on GROUP session variable. Then filters are set on particular groups. How do I set logging level at Group level?
3)Can you copy the query and run it against the test database. What results do you get?
I can not see the query because of above reason.
4)Does the user get the proper groups assigned? Yes. I put the session variable in title view to verify this.
5) Are S_USER and S_RESP in Test equal to S_USER and S_REPS in Production? Yes.
Let me know if you need more information.

BIP Security - Data Level Security / Init Blocks

Hello, I am using BIP 11.1.1.5. I am aware that in OBIEE data-level security can be implemented by placing permissions on a application role. However, I am wondering if this can be accomplished in BIP if I use a BI Analysis or SQL as the datasource for my data model. I have a catalog of 100 BIP reports and was wondering if I can implemented data-level security via the RPD. I am exploring the various options of executing this type of security. I already performed some research and found Oracle's whitepaper on Row Level Security with BI Publisher.
Another Question: Does session init blocks work with BIP? I flipped the switch for BIP security model to 'Oracle BI Server' on the Admin security page. Next, I went to the RPD in online mode and created a simple query inside a init block. However, when I logged into BIP I didn't see the variable from the session init block in the Manage Sessions window.
Thanks

Look at the below link..It has three options. this one is from veeravalli I believe..I personally like the second option if there are not many reports to work with.

Data level Security issue in obiee 11g

Hi,
We are trying to implement data level security, let me explain the issue
The requirement is, we have 7 schools and each school has one principle , there will be a Superdintent who has 3 schools under him. so now when each principle logs in to dashboard we have a prompt for school i.e Name of school in that prompt he should see only his school and even the data of that school only which are assigned to him, now when Superdintent logs in he should see all 3 schools in the prompt and data. I have gone through this link (http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/03/obiee-11g-security-week-row-level-security/) but could not achieve.
We are able to achieve by writing SQL in BMM layer ( LTS Table) so where ever the table is used in dashboards the security is being applied and we are able to see what we want. We want to achieve this by application role, But when we are creating session variables and applying on Application Role its not working. We want to achieve this by using Application role because suppose in other dashboards when the table is not used or pulled in, it will not work.But if we do it using application role its applies to all dashboards and data is resticted. so that when principle or Superdintent logs in automatically its restricts the data.
Below is the SQL which we used in BMM LTS, its working fine. But when the same SQL is applied in Application Role it's not working.
SQL used in session variable -
select 'SCHOOL_CD1', school_cd1 from w_staff_d where empl_id ='VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER)'
and job_desc1 = 'Principal High School - KPI'
Any suggestions please ??
Thanks,
VRP

Hi,
I pasted the log view below by applying SET VARIABLE LOGLEVEL=2, DISABLE_CACHE_HIT=1;, ran this report by applying SQL in Session variable. Let me know if you want anything -

Data Level Security implementation question

I had a quick data-level security scenario and wanted to solicit any input from the experts.
In our current Subject Area we have one Presentation Layer using one Business Model. In this Subject Area have a Task and Employee Dimension. There is row-level Security on the Task Dimension that is done in the Business Model on the LTS Content tab. There are a batch of reports built off this Subject Area.
There is now a request to build a new batch of reports, however, they want to now filter on the Employee Table and NOT filter on the Tasks. So the opposite of what has been applied above.
From my perspective there are only a few ways this Security can be applied
Business Layer: Basically either create an Alias of Employee and Task or build a second LTS for both. Then create new columns and map to these accordingly. Basically have 2 of each column in the Business Layer. One with Security applied and one without.
Presentation Layer: Created a second Presentation Subject Area and apply the security at the Presentation Layer and remove it from the Business Layer.
I know a third option could be put security on the Role/Group but for this case these reports are open to everyone.
I'd just like to verify from the experts that I may have covered all solutions for this scenario or if there are any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Alright...
If you have two LTS say A & B (basically duplicate) then add a column say LTS Indicator and assign 'A' for LTS A and 'B' for LTS B. Add the fragmentation content and apply the security filter and you can also create two different Presentation folders under same Subject Area if users have Answers Access so that the users know if they are querying for LTS A or LTS B.
Similarly, build your reports making use of LTS indicators which will BI server to pick correct LTS. Say, where you want LTS A to be picked...use filter of LTS Indicator = 'A' and thats it.

What if I implement data level security using Selection formula?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to implement data level security for all the reports, the thing is, we donot have a front end application developed in java/.net or any other language, so we have only two options (as per me, if you think there are other alternatives then please share).
1) Implement security at the database level (that is use user roles in where clause which will make the where clause really complicated and hence the performance of the query will eventually decrease).
2) Retrieve the data with the flags of user role/permission on data. Use these flags in selection formula to select the needed records as per the user login.
I have already in middle of implementing the second method, thought to take suggestion from you guys, I appreciate if you could tell me the drawbacks of the method I am using, and if there is an alternative method you could think of.
Thanks,

Standaone Crystal Reports does not have any security option except to use Trusted Authentication when connecting to the DB. We use Microsofts NT or MS SQL Server Authentication only.
Doing this in CR Designer using flags and formula will never be secure, the user could simply change the formula etc...
Check with your DBA on how to configure AD authentication and then enable or add each user to SQL server. You may need to configure and mantain this manually depending on how you ahve your network configured.
Thank you

How to implement data level security

How to implement data level security in BI Publihser?. I am using Obiee enterprise edition and bi publihser. My requirement is to show data based on User- Region relation ship.

OBIEE Data level security - OR condition among multiple filters

Hi All,
we have an requirement in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to apply data level security based on mutiple dimension ( for example: Product, Geography and Customer). we have implemented by creating 3 groups one for each dimension,
added appropriate filters for each group and applied on presentation layer. But when we see the query generated by OBIEE server all filters are getting applied with OR condition instead of AND.
Could someone explain why this is happening so.. is this the actual behaviour of OBIEE or am i doing something wrong !!!!
Example of the conditions added is
Select * from table
where Country='XYZ' OR Customer ='ABC' OR Product='123'
Expected behavior is
Select * from table
where Country='XYZ' AND Customer ='ABC' AND Product='123'
Thanks in advance..!
Thanks & Regards

Regarding Data Level Security in OBIEE

Hi,
We are currently implementing Data level security in our project. We have created multiple groups in the repository and put business filters in the permissions tab for each of the groups. When a user belongs to more than one group then the backend SQL fired by the BI server has an OR condition between the business filters from different groups. Is there a way to force an AND condition between the filters passed from different groups?
Thanks,
Kartik

Try this link
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/06/30/oracle-bi-ee-1013332-row-level-security-and-row-wise-intialized-session-variables/
If the business unit is a column then try this
Repository --> presentation Layer --> column --> properties --> permissions --> Give access to the user/group,for others disable the permission.
Thanks

Data level Security in Essbase

I have an requirement to implement data level security in Essbase. For ex: A user can only see those data which are from Asia region or an user will be able to see those data which are from America.
Asia and America are defined in my location dimension.
Please tell me how to do it?
Regards,
Suman

to make your security maintenance easier, I would suggest putting the users into groups and assigning the filters to the group. If you do it at the indivual level, the user can only have one filter assigned to them, but each group could have a different filter. So for someone who should see Americas and Asia have a group calle America and one called asia. put the user into both groups and assign the america filter to the first group and asia filter to the second group

Group Level Data Level Security not working

I'm trying to test the data level security at the group level.
Here's what I did
1. Went to the security -> Groups -> Permissions -> Filters
2. In Name added the Fact table on which I want to filter.
3. Selected "Enable"
4. In Filter Column I added a filter on a column in the dimension. (I didn't use any session variables in the filter)
When I create an answers query with the column from the dimension (Which I used in filter) and fact from the fact table where I defined the filter, the filter is not applied..
Am I missing something in the creation of filters?
Thanks in Advance.
Rama.

Hi,
If the user is member of both user defined and Administrator group no filter will be applied to them because Administrator group will take precedence and no filter can be applied to Administrator.Even if you ooen Administrator group, you will see that permission tab is disabled for Administrator group.
Hope this helps.
