Oracle Fusion HCM comes out of the box embedded with OBIEE. OBIEE has three layers, one is physical layer that connects to databases or view objects. The middle layer is the logical layer where you can build the joins between data from different physical sources if required. Finally there is a presentation layer that is also known as Subject Area.

Oracle Fusion Applications comes out of the box with various subjects areas for each product. These subject areas allow the users to build their own reports or dashboards straight from the browser. In Fusion Applications, you may encounter after logging that you do not have access to Reports and Analytics.

In this article you will see how you can make the Reports and Analytics of Fusion HCM available to the user. This is made available by allocating a certain role to the user. When the desired role is not allocated for BI to the user then, you will find that “Reports and Analytics” is not available under Navigator -> Tools.

When in Fusion Apps we have given a generic role which did not have all required menus to explore  and different areas like Reports and Analytics, Scheduled Processes etc. After going through different documents and oracle notes I found that those menus appear only if you have Employee role assigned to your user ID in OIM. Therefore in this article you will see how the Employee role is assigned to a user using OIM.

You may ask….What is OIM?  

Oracle Identity Management (OIM) is available in Oracle Fusion Applications through integration with Oracle Fusion Middleware. Identity management in Oracle Fusion Application involves creating and managing user identities, creating and linking user accounts, managing user access control through user role assignment, managing enterprise roles, and managing workflow approvals and delegated administration.

1.Login with OIMADMIN user.

2.GoTo Navigator>Setup and Maintenance>All Tasks

3.Search ‘Provision Roles to implementation Users’ and click on Go To Task 

Admin’s OIM self service Page will get opened where Admin user can do task related to them.

On the right hand side click on ‘Administration’ where we can search any user and change/add roles etc.

Admin OIM page will get opened where we can search user and change password/roles/create user etc.

Click on ‘Roles’ tab and click on ‘Assign’ and search for ‘Employee role’ and add 

Once the role is added log into FA Home page using your id, Reports and Analytics and Scheduled Process should appear under Navigator -> Tools as shown.
