A Logical Approach to Oracle EPM Security

Event: Virtual Connect 2020, Virtual Connect 2020-Applications
Stream: Oracle Applications (EBS – Cloud Applications), EPM, Analytics.

As an EPM Solution Architect, I am often asked to perform "Health Checks" on my clients' Planning and Budgeting applications. These health checks focus on performance, usability, data integrity, automation, governance and the overall maintainability of the application. Having performed a number of these Health Checks, one of the most common deficiencies that I uncover is related to security. With enough time, and enough cooks in the kitchen, all security schemes seem to deteriorate into a mess of confusion and conflicting assignments. This presentation will walk users through a common-sense approach to security design within Oracle's EPM solutions. It will illustrate how administrators can lower maintenance, simplify debugging, and avoid common pitfalls.
