OBIEE Groups - RPD Groups, Catalog Groups, LDAP Groups

Question

Greeting Experts
I am trying to get a clear understanding of how these different groups play out in the OBIEE world.  Ideally I am looking to get clarity around what the boundaries are for these groups (what they control and don't). Really appreciate if someone could enlighten me
Thank you very much.

Answer 1

will LDAP Group security takes precedence over Catalog Group security
Yes
when it comes to LDAP security, can it be extended to control Authorizations besides, just User Authentication ?
Basically LDAP groups are associated with the users and those groups are again associated to Application Roles so Authorization and authentication can be done using Application role rather than a group
But if you have catalog groups (default 10g security model) you can still assign application roles for those catalog group and enable the object level security (Goto Administrator ---> Manage Catalog Groups ---> select any default 10g group there you can search and add applicatoin roles)
