11.1 Creating Reports Users and Named Groups in OracleAS Portal
If you use the security features in OracleAS Portal to control access to your reports,
you must register all of your Reports users in the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) and
assign security privileges to all of them through OracleAS Portal.
Note: If you have a large user population already entered into an
LDAP-compatible directory, you can use Oracle Internet Directory
(OID) features to synchronize the directories and save yourself the
effort of entering your users individually. You'll find information
about OID's Directory Integration Server in the OID Administrator’s
Guide.
In OracleAS Portal, security privileges can be granted to individual users and to
named groups of users. Named groups are useful for streamlining the process of
granting access privileges. You can assign a set of access privileges to a named group,
and grant the entire set of privileges to an individual simply by adding that person to
the group.
