Hide sections in dashboard based on user's group

Hello everyone
May I know whether certain sections of the dashboard can be hidden using guided navigation based on user's group? Any links in this regard.. I appreciate.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
guided navigation is the way to go. Now you need to think about the request which triggers guided navigation.
Now, You can't use dual in a normal request in OBIEE. So you need to use an existing column from a subject area:
1) Add for example column "Calendar Year" from your time dimension to your request.
2) Add the same column again to your request.
3) Click on the fx column of the second column, to change the formula.
4) Change the formula to: LOCATE('GroupName', VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP))
The value of this column will be 0 when the user is not a member of GroupName and >0 when it is member of GroupName.
5) Add a filter on this column: LOCATE('GroupName', VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP)) equals 0.
Check the results:
When user X is member of GroupName, the request will result no rows. When user X is no member of GroupName, it won't.
One note: when you use "A" as a groupname, you will get problems with this, because "A" is also in "Administrators".

How to hide and show Omniportlet based on user privileges

hi all
I am trying to hide or show an Omniportlet based on user privileges, which means accessc control on portlet-level for Omniportlet. But I couldnt find out how to do it.
According to Portal Developer's Guide:
You can hide and show portlets built with Web Clipping and OmniPortlet on portal pages dynamically by using security managers. Although Web Clipping and OmniPortlet do not expose security managers through the user interface, you can apply them by editing their XML provider definition file.
Question is: where can I find that XML file? Is this file accessible and configurable somewhere through Portal Enterprise Mgr?

Hi,
I don't think you can edit this file through Enterprise Manager. Atleast as far as I know. But its available on the server. I have a NT installation and I found it under:
D:\oracle\Mid_tier\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\applications\portalTools\omniPortlet\WEB-INF\providers\omniPortlet
You might want to restart the Portal application through OEM after you change this file.
Hope this helps,

Pass variable and set default value based on user's group

Hello
I'm using SharePoint 2010 and SQL 2012. I need to send a variable to the page and based on its value, set default value for a drop down list and send it to other web part to filter the data. Is it possible for certain users to send that value as a default
and limit user to see only this value in the text field or drop down list; for others - to allow to see the drop down list, but also set the default value for that list?
The main page was designed in SharePoint designer, using web parts (aspx page). I had setup a connection to Active Directory and already have the code to get user's groups and based on their group, I have that variable pulled into the web page for further
use. But I don't know how to pass that value as a default value to the web part (currently using SharePoint Filter web part). When I tried to set a default value for the web part - it automatically puts the quotation marks around the name of the variable
and shows it as a text instead of showing the value of the field.
Thank you!
P.s. I have limited knowledge of SharePoint and need guidance (links, examples, recommendations)!

Thank you for your response. I'll try to give you more details. On PageA I check user's groups and based on the group, assign the value and pass it to the next page (no input from the user, all done behind the scene and user is redirected to PageB).
On the next page I read that value and would like to send it to the SharePoint List Filter Web as a default value, as well as send it to another web part that displays the list from SQL, filtered using that default value. Ideally, if the user is from Group
A, I'd like for them to have only one value in that drop down list; if user is from Group B - give him drop down list with 40 items to choose from. Below there is a part of the code and variable fnum has the value from PageA (if I print the value on the screen
- I do see that it has correct value, so the code that gets groups from Active directory works correctly). If I assign fnum as a default value of the list, it shows "fnum" instead of the value of variable fnum. I connect to SQL database, using external
content - so the other list that I'm filtering based on the value in that drop down list - is XSLT Data View Web part. I also have 2 more filters on that page, that user will have full access to and based on their input, it is also sent to the XSLT web part
to filter out more data. Since one of the filters is the date and I am filtering data starting from the date that user chooses - XSLT is the only web part that I was able to make it work with.
I looked at the link you provided (thank you). It is using Content Query Web part. Will it work with external content, as well as accepting multiple filtering, including custom starting date? I appreciate your help!

Show or hide ADF custom tab based on user's role

Hi everyone,
I have created a custom tab on the self-service interface (OIM 11.1.1.5) which contains two sub-tabs. I would like to show or hide one of the sub-tabs based on the role of the currently logged in user. Does anyone know of way to achieve this?
Thank you very much!
Paul

Figured it out. Here's how to do it:
Scenario:
You are working in OIM 11.1.1.x. You create a custom tab on the self-service page. This tab should only be visible to users with a certain role, say XYZ.
Step 1: Create a Boolean variable in the managed bean that will be true if the user has the role, false otherwise.
Step 2: Create a class called CurrentUser or something along those lines that will grab the logged in user's roles and test to see if he/she has the required role. It should set a variable within the class to true or false. Or you can skip creating a class and put this code in your managed bean constructor so that it runs as soon as the user goes looking for the tab. The whole point of this, regardless of how you do it, is to end up with a Boolean variable that is set to true or false depending on the role requirements.
Step 3: In your .jsff file (the one with the tab you want to show/hide in it), find the tab and look for an attribute named "rendered." This will likely be located in your <af:showDetailItem> tag under your <af:panelTabbed> tag. This controls whether or not the tab is displayed. So set the rendered value to the value of the boolean you created earlier, like this:
rendered=#{somebeanname.yourbooleanvariablename}"
Hence, when your variable is false, this tab will not be shown. If it's true, they will see the tab. That's all there is to it. :-)

Grouping of data based on user prompt having a list of dimensions

Hi All,
I have a requirement to be able to group data in OBIEE request or Dashboard based on user prompt selection.
The prompt should list the Dimensions Available
e.g.
Dimensions: Product, Region, Employee
Fact: Sales
The report is to display sales total for the quarters of the current year.
The user prompt should list the available dimensions (In this case - Location, Employee and Product).
If I choose Product, the data is to be grouped by Products - Layout having a simple tabular grouping with Product names as Group headings.
Similarly any other choice of Dimension from the prompt should group the data by that dimension and have the dimension values used in the group headings.
How could we implement this? I understand this type of requirement (ability to choose dimension) is met in some OLAP reporting tools.
I have used multiple views and the View Selector for similar requirements previously, but looking for a dynamic solution here.
Any pointers or solution will be great.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hiding a document library from specific users or groups.

Just FYI I am far from a SharePoint but have able to accomplish a lot from everyone's help on the forums, so thank you in advace.
Now, Is it possible to hide a document library from specific users or groups? Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
We have a Document library that we want the whole company to view, we will call this Company Share. We then want to have a separate library/app that
is only visible to the Finance department. Then another library that is only visible to the shipping dept.
So when Linda from finance logs into the SharePoint site under Site Contents she should only be able to see 2 items, Company share and Finance.
Tom from shipping will only see Company Share and Shipping. Administrators and Management will see Company share, finance and shipping.
I was able to hide the library using sharepoint designer by checking the box "Hide from Browser" which worked but now none of the users can view the library.
They are only able to access it via a direct URLl link.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi 3s1k,
What did you mean that "management does not want the actual folder library they are in to be visible"?
Please give more information about your requirement?
Best Regards,

Switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G)

Hi All,
I have a requirement : I have to switch Section in a dashboard based on the selection of Prompts (OBIEE 10G).
Lets say I have 1 report in section1 and another report in section2 of a dashboard. I have a dashboard prompt,now say when the user does not select any value in a prompt I have to show section1 and when he selects values in a prompt then I have to show section2 of the dashboard. I tries this using Guided Navigation Link and presentation variable but there is a limitation that I have to select only one value in the prompt as i have created presentation variable.
But the client wants the prompt as Multi Select. in this case I can 't use the presentation variable.
How can I fulfil this requirement.Please let me know.
Thanks,
Krishna

How you create your multiselect prompt? Is it based on a column? Using multiselect prompt you'll get an issue in this case. The prompt behavior with choosing all values and choosing nothing is equivalent. But your requirement has different behavior lines.

Showing/Hiding Dashboard Prompts dynamically based on User logged on

Hi
I have query reg a showing/hiding dashboard prompts based on Users logged in.
What is the best way???
Please help
And also anothe quick question
Is there a way that we can change the Label of Dashboard prompt "ABC" for few users and "DEF" for other users
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hello,
Using guided navigation properties for section, we can achieve your first requirement.
How many prompts to be shown?
depends on that number, you have to create those many reports in answers like,
take one column to criteria and change functionaityt to case when 1=0 then Markets. Region else user() end
apply filter on this equals to UserA (for userA), say ReportA
for UserB filter has to change to UserB, say ReportB...etc
Now, add all the prompts to dashboard, but each section (dashboard object) for each prompt.
Go to section properties of each and select guided navigation property. The section which is holding the PromptA (should be shown to userA) then browse the reportA for guided navigation and click ok
LIke this do for all prompts.
Hope you understood...
if any queries ask me..
And for 2nd Q, in prompt, you have Select captio option which is the last option for all prompts,
Write something there and check

Dashboard based on Crystal Report's Latest instances for the logged in user

Hi,
I am trying design a dashboard based on LiveOffice-crystal report's latest instance for the logged in user. Also there is row level security in the universe on which the crystal reports is created.
In the live office connection i have selected 'latest instance by current user' in the refresh option and published the dashboard to InfoView.
when i open the dashboard in InfoView , i find the row level restrictions being applied for different users. But the data retrived is always on-demand data and not based on the latest instance of the logged in users.
Can anyone throw some light on this issue.
Thanks

Setting Default Dashboard based on Groups/users in OBIEE 10g

Hi,
I am having a requirement and facing some issues with setting a default dashboard option to the users who ever access the application. Below is the brief description of entire requirement.
The main requirement is to integrate OBIEE into a .net and silver light application. We will be having a 3 links in the .net application , which in turn displays the OBIEE reports and dashboards upon clicking the 3 links.
We are using the concept of Init blocks, session variables and Go URL from an OBIEE standpoint for accomplishing this integration requirement. We have also configured LDAP server in OBIEE.
The issue we are facing is out of the 3 links in .net application, we have one link/icon called dashboard icon which should display bunch of OBIEE dashboard pages in the form of 4 tabs but currently it is showing the My Dashboard home page. For this to achieve to set default dashboard page is to go to My account and change the default dashboard to the desired dashboard and log out and log in back to the application and we will be all set with dashboard pages being displayed upon lcking the dashboard icon but this is manual process for each user as they need to login into the .net application and change the setting s in My Account manually to change the default dashboard setting to the desired one.
How should I make sure, whoever is logging into the Application (every user) should be able to see the default dashboard pages without changing the options manually by going to My Account.
The LDAP server is taking care of the Authentication part of the users as every user record is maintained in Active directory which in turn is part of LDAP server.
To brief high level requirement on single statement is  how to make a default dashboard pages to users based on group in OBIEE. Is there any option in OBIEE, where we can change or set a default dashboard to particular group in OBIEE either in RPD or UI level.
Appreciate your help on this.
Let me know if anyone needs any more information in this regard.
Thank
Praveen

Well, yes, in the sense that simplicity has a price: it comes at the cost of reduced functionality. (If all the functionality were still there, things wouldn't be as simple; it's an inevitable trade-off.) It looks like IBA was designed with the iWeb philosophy: make simple things really simple, and leave out the stuff that's too complex to control for non-experts. The upside of course is that non-experts can use the tool really easily.
K T wrote:

Sure. But almost all that effort went towards creation of the content, not towards laying it out with IBA (which was remarkably easy). So, in that sense, IBA more than met my expectations. The things it does do, it by and large does really well, and without much expertise needed on my part. The only thing that was complex was the HTML widget, which took some programming. But that's entirely my own fault, not IBA's

Show / Hide DOWMLOAD link in classical report based on user rights

Hi,
using apex 4.1.
How i can display or hide download link in classical report based on user rights .
The User who has download rights ,can download the data from classical report Otherwise it should hide.
I have passed the code in authorization scheme in shared component as named "VIEW"
DECLARE
VNAME VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
SELECT PAGE_NAME INTO VNAME FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGES WHERE PAGE_ID = :APP_PAGE_ID AND APPLICATION_ID = :APP_ID;
return GET_ADMIN_STATUS_VIEW_NEW(:APP_USER,VNAME);
END;How i can call "VIEW'' name in download link.

Right click on the export link, select copy url. Create a button with redirect to URL. Use that URL (or at least everything with and after f?p). Bind rights to the button.
Or create a second identical report with different rights, give one export enabled and one disabled. The first is better, the second is easier :)

Hiding a Section and Dashboard Page

Hi
I have two questions
1) A section has to be hidden, not based on user nothing to be done dynamically, temp i have to hide few sections on a dashboard page.
2) A dashboard page is to be hidden dynamically, when I say dynamically it is not based on user or something. It is based on Env where our code gets deployed.
we have internal and external envs. In external Env one of the dashboard page should not be displayed. I don't want to maitain two webcats as it will increase the maintenance...somehow i want to deploy same code but want to dynamically hide the dashboard page.
Thanks in advance
pls help
\Cheers

Exactly the same answer for both questions:
ad 1) Simply take away the permissons for this section. Let only Admins see the section and specify "No Access" for the other web groups. Section -> Properties -> Permissions...
ad 2) Guided navigation. Create a variable which specifies the environment you're on. Then create a report which returns rows when you're "Internal" and none when you're "External". Then control the section in question with that guided nav request:
Section -> Properties -> Guided Navigation... -> "Reference Source Request" = TRUE, "Source Request" = YourGuidedNavRequest, "Show Section" - "If request returns rows"

BI Bex Query prompt based on User's Authorization....

Hi
In BI, I created 1 BEx Query based on Authorization. If a user runs the query, it prompts for 'Customer Name' to get data of particular customer. And Customer values are populated in the prompt based on User's Authorization.
For example:
User1 is authorized to see data of Customer1 & Customer2. So, Query prompt will show 2 values: 'Customer1' & 'Customer2'.
But User2 is authorized to see data of Customer1, so Query prompt will show 'Customer1' only.
I created 2 variables on Customer field:
1) Authorization Variable in Filter Section
2) Manual, Single Entry, Mandatory on Default Value section.
My Requirement:
If user is authorized to link with only 1 Customer, he should not get prompt & on the background prompt value should be populated from his authorization value. But if user is authorized to see multi-customers, then prompt should appear.
If possible pls. provide some suggestions....
Thanks...

Yes, this can be done.
but there is little work around.. Using guided navigations
1. Create a report with column fx as case when 1=0 then markets.region else user() end
2. apply filter on this column is equal to User_1
3. Create another report with column fx as case when 1=0 then markets.region else user() end
4. apply filter on this column is equal to User_2
5. Now add all your prompts to dashboard, but each prompt should in each section object of dashboard.
6. For first section click on section properties, go to Guided Navigation...
7. Browse Source Request as first report.. and keep If request returns rows selected.
8. Repeat above step for another section.. but this time browse 2nd report.
9. Just save dashboard.
Check now..
Hope you understood..
