AD Groups To OBIEE Roles - Data Level Security
In brief, when you setup AD authentication in Weblogic console, you are able to see
users & groups present in AD. Now, you need to create a role maybe, with the same
name and assign the group to it. Once you synchronize RPD, you are able to see
these new roles RPD where you can apply data filters.
Detailed Steps:
1- Login to Weblogic Console to see AD Users and groups.
3- Login to Weblogic Enterprise Manager and create a new role, lets say
BI_DEVELOPERS_ALL_GG. Assign AD group AppTester to this role.
4- Open RPD in online mode. Go to Manager -> Identity -> Action ->
Synchronize. You will now see this newly created role in RPD.
8- Here, you need to select the Dim/Fact on which you want to apply the filter,
expand that table and select right column. Click Select on right pane. Make
sure the table type is Presentation Table
9- Now, you will return back to last pane and you will see the filter condition.
Highlight filter condition, and click on Edit Expression button.
