Here are key considerations for controlling access to BI reports in Fusion HCM:

1. User Roles and Permissions:

   • Access to BI reports is typically controlled through user roles and permissions within the Fusion HCM application.
   • Oracle Fusion HCM provides predefined roles that grant specific access to BI reports, and organizations can create custom roles as needed.

2. Data Security Policies:

   • Fusion HCM allows you to define data security policies that restrict access to specific HR data based on user roles and attributes. These policies can be applied to BI reports as well.

3. Object Level Security:

   • BI reports can have object-level security defined, which restricts access to specific report folders, reports, or datasets.
   • Users or roles are granted or denied access to these objects, ensuring that only authorized users can view or modify them.

4. Data Filters and Prompts:

   • Reports can include data filters and prompts that allow users to interactively filter data. Ensure that these filters and prompts respect the security policies and data visibility settings defined for users.

5. Report-Level Security:

   • Some reports may contain sensitive information. Ensure that report-level security settings are applied to restrict access to these reports based on user roles.

6. Dashboard-Level Security:

   • If reports are part of dashboards, consider applying security at the dashboard level to control who can access and view specific dashboards.

7. Scheduled Report Delivery:

   • For scheduled report delivery, ensure that only authorized users can schedule and receive reports.
   • Control who can access the report scheduling and delivery features.

8. Audit Trails and Logging:

   • Enable audit trails and logging for BI report access. This helps track who accesses reports and what actions they perform, aiding in security monitoring and compliance.

9. Security Testing:

   • Regularly test the security configurations to ensure that they are effectively controlling access to BI reports.
   • Conduct security audits and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities.

10. Training and Awareness:

    • Train users, administrators, and report creators on security best practices for BI reports.
    • Create awareness of the importance of data security and adherence to security policies.

11. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):

    • Implement role-based access control, where access to reports is based on job roles and responsibilities within the organization.

12. Integration with Single Sign-On (SSO):

    • Integrate BI report access with SSO solutions to centralize user authentication and simplify access control.

13. Continuous Review and Updates:

    • Regularly review and update access control configurations to adapt to changing organizational needs, personnel changes, and evolving security threats.
