OBIEE Security Examined

Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) 11g is a powerful tool for accessing data, however, this power means OBIEE security is imperative in order to protect the data.

This paper discusses the security features of OBIEE and uses the perspective of a manager or security professional. The intent is to present the key concepts and decisions that need to be made when considering how to secure OBIEE. As such this paper assumes a general familiarity with OBIEE and does not seek to describe OBIEE functionality in detail. A great many other sources of information can be found on OBIEE architecture, functionality and best practices for implementation.
