Add new User

This screen lets you add new user to the repository. Every user who intends to use the dashboards should have an account created here.

If you have a list of existing users, you can import them all into the xxic_user table through SQL scripts.

Click on the "Add User" node

Expand the "User Detail" node and click on the "Add User" node. This will show the user entry screen

[Top]

Enter Full name

Place your cursor on this field and type the full name of the user

[Top]

Enter login name

Enter the desired login name. Users will use this login name to authenticate against the repository and access dashboards

[Top]

Select Authentication

The normal value for authentication is 'REPOSITORY'. This means that every dashboard user will have to login and get validated against the repository and the repository will send back the list of available dashboards that the user has access to.

The second option of authentication is 'ORACLE_APPS'. This option is used only if you have Oracle ERP (e-business) and need to use Oracle Apps username/password to login. In this mode the login name should match to the user_name field of the fnd_user table.

Assign Role

Assign appropriate role to the user. There are three roles available to choose from

ADMIN: This role gives access to all the dashboards defined in the repository

GROUP: This role gives access to all the dashboards defined within a group

RESTRICTED: This role gives access to either all dashboards in a category or to individual dashboards. Giving access to users at the dashboard level gives granular control but it is not a good practice as with the growing number of dashboards it becomes increasingly difficult to manage them.
