  1. Once the database is created, click the vertical ellipsis icon , and select Manage roles.

    BI Gateway service toggle popup, with the purple BI Gateway icon and title 'Business Intelligence Gateway', with the ellipsis icon highlighted with a red box to point the user to assign a group.

  2. Under the Groups tab, select Assign group. Create the required groups.

  3. You require at least an Admin group and a Reporting Database group. Add the following:

    • Group name

    • Group description

    • Users

    Note: The only special character allowed is an underscore ‘_’.

  4. Under the Roles tab, select Assign role. It is compulsory to add the following roles:

    • Datastore Administrator role – Only users/groups with the Datastore Administrator roles can view the tenant model builder.

    • Reporting Analytics User role – Only users/groups with the Reporting Analytics User role can view the reporting database information and later configure a database.

    Important: To allowlist reporting databases, ensure that the Reporting Analytics User role is assigned for the reporting database.

Important: 1:1 mapping is only allowed within the same account. A BI Gateway role can be assigned to only one group and one tenant. The tables below demonstrate the 1:1 mapping within two accounts:
