Enabling Guest Access
Business Analytics accepts requests from both unauthenticated (guests) and authenticated users. Guests, however, can only access mashables, mashup and apps in Business Analytics that explicitly allow guest access.
Authentication is required:
*To access the Business Analytics Hub, the AppDepot or the Business Analytics Mobile apps for mobile phones or mobile tablets. Access to specific mashables, mashups, apps and specific features in Business Analytics Hub or the AppDepot is determined by the user’s permissions.
*To use any feature in any Business Analytics Add-On that accesses the Business Analytics Server, unless that Add-On also supports guest access.
For example, portal users may view Business Analytics apps or mashups using the Business Analytics Add-On for Portals if those artifacts and the portal supports guest access. If guest access is not enabled, authentication is required to see information on Business Analytics apps or mashups.
*To use apps or other web applications outside of Business Analytics Hub, the AppDepot or the Business Analytics Mobile apps, unless all of the apps, mashables or mashups that are used explicitly permit guest access. Artifacts that permit guest access have no authorization requirements.
Requests are rejected with an authentication error when they do not provide one of:
*A valid Business Analytics session cookie. Sessions that have timed out are rejected with an appropriate error. See Sessions and Timeouts for more information.
*Valid credentials. See Valid Credentials for more information.
*Guest access header or parameter information. See Enabling Guest Access for more information.
