Now that I have installed Oracle BI EE 11g, what I like to do is to create a another user with administrative privileges that I then use for my work. In this case, to satisfy a narcissistic urge I use my name as the user name - "abhinav".
To do that, I first need to login to the Administration Console of Oracle BI EE. which on my computer's installation is http://aagarwa-lap.idc.oracle.com:7001/console You would need to use the username and password that you specified when installing Oracle BI EE (see post
Installing OBIEE 11g).
 |
| Login to the WebLogic Server 11g Console |
Once you login, click the link that says "Security Realms"
 |
| Click "Security Realms" |
And then click the "myrealm" link to view all users, groups, and permissions for that security realm.
 |
| Security realms in place |
Since we need to add a new user, click the "Users and Groups" tab, and then click the "New" button.
 |
| Users and Groups tab |
Enter the new user's name, description, and password. Since this is a simple installation, the "Provider" dropdown contains only one value.
 |
| Adding a new user - "abhinav" |
Now that we have created the user, the next step is to associate this user with groups. Since I said I want this user to have administrative privileges, I click the "Groups" tab.
 |
| Navigating to the "Groups" tab for the user created - "abhinav" |
And from the "Groups" page, I select the "Administrators" and "BIAdminsitrators" values from the list on the left, and click the right-arrow to move them to the list of selected values. Click "Save" and you are done.
 |
| Adding the user "abhinav" to groups |
The final step is to verify that this user works as intended. Try logging into your Oracle BI EE instance with these credentials: http://aagarwa-lap.idc.oracle.com:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome on my instance.
