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 -
Thanks

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.

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?

Alternative Data Level Security in OBIEE 11g

Gurus - Wanted to put it out there if there are alternatives ways of achieving data level security as opposed to going the route of creating blocks that initialize session variables which can be applied onto tables through roles in the RPD? The main reason for asking was to try and prevent performance impact of having a significant number of init blocks running when an user logs into the application.
Ganesh

VPD [Virtual Private Database] would be an alternative for this.

Data level security in OBIEE

We have implemented data level security by applying filters on groups in Obiee Administration tool. Here we have set filter on division(which is a column in Customer table). This is done so that user can see data for division for which he has access.
When user creates report which consists of division column filter is working fine. E.g. if user1 has access to division1
and when user1 cretes a report for (customerName,division,sales columns) he can see sales of customers belong to division1. But if user1 cretes report which does not contain division column e.g.(customerName,sales columns report) he can see all the customers sales data. How can we aoide that. We want User1 to see division1's data only irrespective whether division column is there in report or not.
Can any one suggest what should be done to achive this.
Thanks,
Avdhut

Hi friend,
You need to create group of users and then apply filters over that groups.
you should establish an additional filter for group1 (user1 belongs to group1 in your example). Follow next steps:
- Manage -> Security...
- Groups -> click right group1 and select propierties.
- Select button 'Permissions...'
- Select tab 'Filters' -> add new filter.
- On the column name select the metric you need filter, in your example, customer sales. On the column 'Business model filter' put table.division=division1
I hope this can help you.
Good luck.

Data Level Security OBIEE,PLEASE HELP

How can we implement data level security in OBIEE. For example, a Sales officer should only see data for his customers, similarly a Sales Manager should only be able to see data for Sales Officers working under him....
any help would be appreciated

Hi there are many blogs on data level security..
understand the concepts and try to implement, if you stuck up anywhere will help you out..

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..!

OBIEE BI Apps data level security involving multiple PeopleSoft Segments

Has anyone implemented OBIEE BI Apps data level security involving multiple PeopleSoft Segments and can provide some tips?
Our PeopleSoft security grants access by 2 segment combinations:
All Segment 3 (Department) and any Segment 6 (Project)
Specific Segment 6
Specific combinations of Segment 3 and Segment 6
In addition, there is a flag to indicate if the user also has access to payroll data. Payroll access is a subset of the general finance access.
We've got a security init blocks running successfully for general finance and payroll access. We've created Data filters on the Segments for general finance access and GL Account for payroll access. We designed dashboards to use Dept and Project from the Segments on the general finance dashboards and pull Dept and Project from GL Account for the payroll dashboards.
The problem is both data filters are being applied to the general finance dashboards since the joins behind the scenes on the general finance dashboards use GL Account.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Business Intelligence Applications

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

Dashboard prompts are getting cached and not working as per data level security

Hi,
Version: OBIEE 11.1.1.5 BP2
We have dashboard prompts that have data level security defined in RPD - Content tab of an LTS.
After clearing cache, the dashboard prompt applies the security properly. When another user who has a different security defined, is seeing the same prompt values on clicking the drop down of a prompt and also when they click search prompt popup.
Issue is, for second user, I do not even see cached query in the session logs. Tried applying the DISABLE_CACHE_HIT=1 in the prompt sql results, no luck.
But reports are applying the security correctly, issue is with prompts alone.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Rajesh

Just for others reference: We disabled caching on the table to avoid this issue.

Data-level security in user level

Hi All,
In our OBIEE we have created several application roles and assign them to the users. We set data-level security for each application role, and the filter does apply to all related users. But we want to do more specific data-level security for each user, which we did by clicking on user name in Manage Identity, and set permission with additional data filter. But this does not work.
Let's say we have Application Role1 with access to region='Asia', but then we want to set User1 to access only subregion='North Asia' and User2 to access only subregion='South East Asia', where User1 and User2 belongs to Application Role1.
Is this possible to work in OBIEE 11g?
Thanks.

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:

Hope this helps.

Object Level Security,Data Level Security&Row level Security

can anyone explain main difference between "Object Level Security,Data Level Security & Row Level Security " and how to implement.
Thanks in advance,
Kumar

Hi Kumar
Dashboards, Reports, Guided Navigation Links, Texts, briefing books are all Dashboard OBJECTS which are available at UI level of OBIEE..if you restrict them Say User 'A' wants to see 2 Dashboards and USer 'B' Wants to see 1 Dashboard....these settings & permission u r restricting in Object level called Object Level Security
lly datalevel security is restriction of Data.. consider the same above example and User 'B" wants to see 2-3 regions data where as User A will see only Single Region Data..which you will do/restrict at logical tables, using variables..
Row level security: http://groups.google.com/group/obiee-enterprise-methodology/browse_thread/thread/131ee938a5aefde0 refer this link, clearly explains you
