Standard Security Package

Question

I am aware of the ability to apply the security rules associated with an apps user responsibility to discoverer custom folders/workbooks.
Does anyone know how to do this?
I am using Oracle R12 & Disco 10g.
Many thanks
Jo

Hi Rod,
I have one question regarding same security in discoverer. Here is my explanation for that.
fnd_product_initialization table contain following values
SQLGL -- GL_SECURITY_PKG.INIT
AR -- FII_GLOBAL.INIT
IGI -- IGI_SLS_CONTEXT_PKG.SET_SLS_CONTEXT
PER -- HR_SIGNON.INITIALIZE_HR_SECURITY
fnd_product_init_dependency table is having the following values like
SQLGL -- AR
AR -- IGI
AR -- PER
In this senario , If i login into the discoverer using Oracle general ledger responsibility The discoverer post login trigger will execute the security initializtion procedures in the following order.
1. IGI_SLS_CONTEXT_PKG.SET_SLS_CONTEXT
2. HR_SIGNON.INITIALIZE_HR_SECURITY
3. FII_GLOBAL.INIT
4. GL_SECURITY_PKG.INIT
Here the procedure FII_GLOBAL.INIT code is as follows
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY FII_GLOBAL AS
/* $Header: FIIINITB.pls 120.1.12000000.2 2007/02/23 20:56:21 hlchen ship $ */
-- Name : INIT
-- Type : Procedure
-- Description : This procedure initializes MO Security when the user logs into
-- discoverer
PROCEDURE INIT IS
l_application_short_name varchar2(15);
l_init_function_name varchar2(240);
BEGIN
l_application_short_name := fnd_global.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME;
--mo_global.init(l_application_short_name);
-- Added for bug 5240018 by MMANASSE
SELECT UPPER(init_function_name) INTO l_init_function_name
FROM fnd_product_initialization
WHERE application_short_name = UPPER(l_application_short_name);
IF ('FII_GLOBAL.INIT' = l_init_function_name) THEN
mo_global.init(l_application_short_name);
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
END;
END;
If we go through the above procedure it is selecting the init function name from the follwing query.
SELECT UPPER(init_function_name) INTO l_init_function_name
FROM fnd_product_initialization
WHERE application_short_name = UPPER(l_application_short_name);
If we login to GL Responsibility it always returns the "GL_SECURITY_PKG.INIT" value for GL and the next step "IF ('FII_GLOBAL.INIT' = l_init_function_name) THEN" is failing to initialize the mo_global security package.
And this was modified for the bug bug 5240018. I could not able to find this bug in metalink.
I have some reports which uses the both GL and AR tables. For AR tables i have applied the mandatory condition to the folders from the table "mo_glob_org_access_tmp"(This is actually a global temporary table populated the org informaiton at the time of Mo Global security initialization) and for GL tables i have applied the condition on gl_security_pkg.validate_access.
If i login with general ledger responsibility, MO Global package is not initializing. I have explined this reason above in the package.
Please provide me any alternate solution.
