Creating and configuring OBIEE roles
In OBIEE, 11g roles are created in the Enterprise Management Console and do not need to be created in the Business Intelligence Administration tool.
Getting ready
To control access to content, OBIEE uses roles. Within LDAP you can have one or more groups, and when you integrate OBIEE into LDAP, these groups become visible. To control access to content, these LDAP groups are mapped to OBIEE roles. OBIEE roles can also be assigned multiple privileges.
Open a browser and navigate to the Enterprise Manager web address for OBIEE.
How to do it...

1. Log on to Enterprise Manager as the administrator (

2. Expand the Business Intelligence folder; right-click on the node under the folder, and select Security | Application Roles:
3. Click Create... to create a new role:
4. Enter a name for the role. Click...
