Managing BI Tool Users

After you create a BI tool, you can register a user used in the new BI tool and link the user to a Noetix query user of the Oracle E-Business Suite Authenticated User (Type A) type (See About Noetix Query Users and Roles) using the BI Tool User Registration tab. If you remove the Noetix query user linked to a registered BI tool user, the BI tool user will become invalid and cannot be used. If you want to continue using the BI tool user, you must link the user to a Noetix query user and assign a responsibility.

This section explains how to register BI tool users, modify the settings of registered BI tool users, and remove registered BI tool users.
