- 1. What Is the Oracle BI EE Home Page? The Home page provides a starting point for performing tasks in Oracle BI EE. The Home page is divided into sections that allow you to begin a specific task or locate an object. It also includes sections (for example, Recent and Favorites) that allow you to access objects that you have recently viewed, created, or updated, and objects that are accessed the most often by the users assigned to the groups to which you belong. The illustration shows an example of a Home page. Depending on what has been configured as your starting page, you might be presented with the Home page when you sign in to Oracle BI EE. Otherwise, you can always navigate to the Home page by clicking the Home page link in the global header. What Is the Oracle BI EE Global Header? The global header provides quick access to commonly used functions and is always available from the user interface. For example, you can use the global header to begin a new task, search the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog, access the product documentation, or view a different object, without having to return to the Home page. The global header also includes the Home page link so that you can access the Home page from other pages. Note that the functionality available on the global header is determined by privileges. Your administrator can customize the global header by changing the order in which the links display or by adding links to internal or external locations such as Google or OTN.

Enables you to act as another user. About Acting for Other Users Acting as another user allows non-administrators to perform other users’ functions. The Act As functionality enables you to act for another user in Oracle BI EE. This functionality is useful, for example, when you must work on another user's dashboard or content, or when IT support staff wants to troubleshoot another user's account. To use the Act As functionality, the administrator must enable you to act for another user. For information, When the administrator authorizes you to act for another user, the administrator can grant you full access or restricted access to another user's account: • Full access — When you are granted full access, you inherit the target user's privileges and can change the user's default dashboard and modify the user's content and preferences. • Restricted access — When you are granted restricted access, you maintain your user privileges, but inherit the target user's permission for viewing data. Restricted access enables you only to view the user's data. You can view a list of the users with access to your account by opening the My Account Dialog: Delegated Users tab. This tab displays a list of the names of the users that have been given access to your account.
- 4. Acting for Other Users You can act for another user, if you have been authorized to do so. To act as another user: In the global header, click Signed In As username, then select Act As. The Act As dialog displays. Select a user's ID from the list or enter the ID in the box (if available), and click OK. The user's default dashboard is displayed. From this dashboard you can view or modify content, depending upon the access type (full or restricted) that you were granted by the administrator. To return to your account, display the Act As dialog, click Stop, then click OK. Setting Preferences You and end users can set personal preferences for Oracle BI EE.
