Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher in OBIEE 11g?

In 11g, the New button in Answers ists all of the types of objects that a user can create. I've figured out which of the privileges controls the display of each of those options, EXCEPT for all of the options under the Published Reporting category. How can we turn on/off access to those 5 objects (essentially, grant or deny access to the BI Publisher options)?

I figured out the answer about 3 minutes after posting the question.
All of the existing Application Roles are associated with Application Policies that allow access to BI Publisher. By creating a new Application Policy and an associated Role, I can accomplish my goal.

  • Is there a way to deny access to BI Publisher -Report job in OBIEE 11g?

    Thank you all for the helpful information in the posts. I am trying to disable or not to display Report job under published reporting in OBIEE 11g. Could any one of you you please help me with the steps?
    My issue:
    I am pretty new to OBIEE and we are using OBIEE 11g when the user clicks on the new drop down, i am trying to disable or turnoff Report job under published reporting for a user group. I tried to find the relevant components for published reporting to deny access to report job under manage privileges but no luck i couldn't find any and i realized that i should be looking into Manage Bi publisher roles and responsibilities but i cannot remove the roles. Please help me with the steps and the options where i need to go and what i should do to not to display the report job. Your help is greatly appreciated, if i am not clear please let me know i will try to rephrase or explain it better
    FYI
    We are using LDAP for user creation and we have created a new group and created a test user belongs to that group and that user should not see the Report job. When i am seeing the users roles and responsibilities it is also showing me other two roles authenticated user role and BI consumer role for the test user, when i asked the admin guy dealing with LDAP he said he only associated the user with that only new group. Please advice
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    In EM, go to Weblogic Domain, right click on bifoundation_domain and on the Security menu choose Application Policies.
    Set Application Stripe to obi and click the blue arrow search button.
    Highlight BIConsumer and click Edit.
    Under Permissions locate Resource Name oracle.bi.publisher.scheduleReport. Highlight this and click Delete...
    Click OK (top right corner).
    Now log your user out of OBIEE and back in again, and the option should have disappeared from their New menu.

  • Is there a way to control access by IP Address?

     

    I'd like to follow up on this question using WLS 6.0/6.1.
    What I need to do is block access to a set of directories to public IP
    addresses. My usual approach would be to tweak the webserver
    configuration to deny the requests, but I can't seem to find
    documentation on how to accomplish this.
    So, if approach this with a ConnectionFilter, I can look at the
    ConnectionEvent's getRemoteAddress() method to determine whether the
    requestor is public or trusted, but can I get enough information from
    getProtocol() method to determine which directory they're requesting?
    Thanks,

    Hi,Michael,
    Is there any way to control access to a particular application by ip address?
    For instance, there are multiple applications reside on the same WLS, some can
    be accessed publically, some only can be accessed by users from a certain ip address?
    The example you mentioned only applys to the whole WLS.
    Thanks.

    I have a NES Server with SSL running communicating with a WLS server
    through
    the NASPI proxy. In order to maintain SSL we do not want anybody going
    directly against the WLS.
    Any Ideas would be helpful.

  • Is there a way of remote accessing 'Games and More' on a mobile?

    I am new to the forum, please excuse me if I am in the wrong space!
    Is there a way of remotely accessing/executing Java applications that are residing in the 'Games and More.' folder on a mobile device?
    e.g. Java application is downloaded into 'Games and More' and there is a requirement to execute the program from an ODP (On-Device-Portal). The ODP is external to the 'Games and More' folder but within the same mobile device.
    Many thanks

    I have another computer that a virus may have taken over and I cannot log into it anymore.  I just downloaded Itunes on a new computer but most of my songs are not on there.  Is there a way to still access or find those songs?  Remotely or another way?  Or do I need to take it to a tech to get my files off of my hard drive?

    Edit > Preferences > Store check Music under Automatic Downloads.
    Open the iTunes Store from left hand column, then select Purchasedfrom the column on the right, click the Not In My Library button and select the tunes you want to download again.
    That said, you seem to be under a misapprehension as to how iTunes works, or at least how it has worked in the past. It has, until recently, been up to you take care of your purchases once they have been downloaded. You had a one-time download which you were reminded to back up. With the recent change to this policy you can at least download your store purchases again, but having a personal backup of your iTunes store purchases, stuff purchased elsewhere and files ripped from your CDs will still be preferable to gathering all the stuff together again in the event of a disaster.
    For a backup strategy see this User Tip.

  • After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

    After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

    If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
    You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

  • I recently upgraded my old powerbook to an iMac.  I've dumped the files of my backup drive into the new iMac. Is there a way to have access to all the files (new and old computers) when logged on as the same user vs. logging in and out to access each?

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Is there a way to set window dimensions before publishing project as standalone from Aggregator?

    Hi,
    I am combining several SWF files using aggregator and publishing it as a Standalone (.exe) File type. The executable works fine and displays all the files as expected. The expectation from the customer is to have the ability to maximize, minimize the window of the executable. Is there a way to set the dimensions before publishing the standalone. Currently, I am able to minimize or close the window and not maximize the window of the exe.
    P.S - I am using Captivate 4.
    Thanks,

    Me again, Carol
    You also asked about the functional differences between WebHelp and WebHelp Pro, so let me elaborate.
    I'm aware of only two major differences (other than the extra benefits of feedback analytics reports and management of "Areas" with authentication in RoboHelp Server).
    The behavior of Browse Sequences as explained above
    The fact that Content Categories are not supported in WebHelp Pro for this latest version 9.
    As for the Browse Sequences you are trying to provide for different modules (licensed, etc.): Multiple Browse Sequences are included in a single .BRS file. The sequences are defined in the XML within the single file.
    As a workaround (for either WebHelp or WebHelp Pro) you could create a NGP Help.brs. which you have already created for one module; then backup and archive it. Then, create a modification for the different module before you generate again. The NGP Help.brs. will need to have the same name as your project so you will have to manage the desired .brs file into the project folder when you generate that version. All of your other choices (TOC, Index, Conditional Tags, etc.) would remain the same for the respective modules.
    Finally, I note that you are apparently generating WebHelp Pro right now even though you are not publishing it to the RH Server? This is really not the best practice. You should generate plain WebHelp for a web server that does not have RH Server on it (even though you may be getting away with it). As for your concern about "breaking" something; each output is placed in a different !SSL! folder automatically when you generate, so you should be able to generate WebHelp without interferring with the WebHelp Pro output. Then, you can re-publish to the RH Server using WebHelp Pro whenever the server is ready.

  • Is there a way of restricting access to columns in a BI BEANS report?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a way to retrict access to a column in a BI BEANS crosstab report. The scenario is, if a particular user has the priviledges to see the profit column in a crosstab, but another user doesn't is there any way to stop the less restricted user from seeing this column using the same BI BEANS report?
    This is really the alternative to having 2 reports, 1 with the profit column and 1 without, and depending on what user is logged in, it will show one or the other.
    Regards,
    Scott.

    Hi Scott,
    This is an interesting question.
    If I presume you are talking about an OLAP data source where data does not reside in an Analytic Workspace, then the following is true :-
    The BI Beans respects database security and therefore the user has access to a particular schema(s) and table(s) in the database.
    When talking about cubes, you must remember a cube is mapped to a particular Fact table and dimensions.
    Because a Measure is a constituent sub-component of a cube, unless the measures are sourced from different fact tables with different user privileges, then it would be difficult to discriminate against users and hide columns or measures.
    Basically, what I am saying is:
    A cube is the finest granularity at which users can be differentiated.
    A cube maps to a fact table, hence this is the level at which the DB grants are applied.
    Unless measures belonged to different cubes, and hence different fact tables, then it would be impossible to discriminate against users and access to different columns/measures.
    What you could do however, at the BI Beans application level is :-
    Before displaying a presentation object, you could filter the Query programmatically and remove components which you did not want to display i.e. measures etc.
    This would require more leg work with the presentation object and filtering the embedded query, but would achieve the same effect. You would have to work out a method of validating users too and what they had access to.
    I hope this answers your Question.
    Should you require more information, please let us know.
    Many Thanks

    Software update wiped my calendar.  My contacts were OK.  Is there some way to access the calendar?  Also the calendar format is different and I do not like it.  Is there some way to go back to the prior format? 

    You have posted in the iphone forum.
    Try posting in the ipod touch forum.
    You should always import all photos taken with ipod before any update.  You should import them regularly as you would with any digital camera.
    You should transfer your itunes purchases to your computer.
    The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.

  • I recently bought the ipad 2, and before I could sync it to itunes, my pc died. i have so much music in my itunes library that i now have no way to access. Is there a way to get access to my library other than my pc?

    I just recently got the ipad2, but before I had a chance to sync it to itunes, my pc died. I'm pretty new to all of this, so I don't know if there's any way to get access to my itunes library. There is a ton of songs there, most of which I exported from files that were on my pc, so not all of it was purchased through itunes. Does anyone know of a way to get access the itunes library without syncing your device? I'm clueless...

    OMG...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Since my computer is a goner, I don't have any other way to access all that music.
