OBIEE Report Requirement

Question

Hello All,
I am working on a SOX report where I need to provide User details along with the roles assigned to user. This report is being prepared currently from another reporting application and I need to replicate it OBIEE. To cut short there are three tables, USERS, ROLES and a bridge table USER_ROLES to handle many to many relationships. The report format is as below,
User Table
USER Id
First name
Last Name
123
A
B
456
X
Y
Role_User Bridge Table
Role Id
User Id
1
123
1
456
2
123
Role Table
Role Id
Role
Data Affiliation Indicator
1
Role 1
F
1
Role2
T
1
Role3
T
2
Role4
F
So basically Role1 and Role 4 are the main role and Role 2 and 3 are generic for data affiliation. If the user has access to those area, there will be T in affiliation indicator. So in report there should be User id, Role id and Data Affiliations column as below
User Id
Role
Role 3 Data Affiliation Indicator
Role 3 Data Affiliation Indicator
123
Role1
Yes
Yes
456
Role4
Yes
Yes
So with my current model, i get Role 2 and Role 3 for user 123. In the current report they have created a view on Role table filtering the roles based on Data Affiliation indicator=T and used this view to make join and they are pulling the Roles from original table.
Is there any way to achieve this without creating the view in RPD?
