We were unable to add user directly to catalog group (or any user) Other users part of same application role were able to view dashboards intended for the role. The user was part of the application role that had access to my reports and my dashboards area. The user was added to an application role, and this application role had read permission to the folder, right from root, all the way to dashboard and report level. We checked following, but nothing seems to fix the issue: The user was just BI Publisher consumer which were also added to dashboards, and not for Analysis reports. This user did not have any subject area access, nor did he have access to create new reports / analysis. We had a new OBIEE user, that was added to an application role, but was still not able to vew dashboards and reports. If lock is not removed, vnc will assign next available port to the server, but make sure to use assigned port when connecting from VNC Viewer. Remove file /tmp/.X1-lock to release the port used by previous vnc server session - This is optional step.remove file in users home directory /home/userid/.vnc/passwd.Kill vnc process 'Xvnc' that was started by given user.Now if you end up forgetting VNC server password that was given earlier, perform following steps: You can launch any GUI application like RCU or OBIEE installer. Thats it!! Now if you give command ' firefox' this should open up a web browser window. Next on your windows client, install ' VNC Viewer' software and connect to this server. Upon successful launch, it will inform you of the vncserver details, including the port number. This will prompt you to create a password, which can be anything. Conceptually, you login to linux using putty application and give following command to launch vncserver It is much simpler than the x-windows utilities and achieves the same goal of launching GUI applications on linux. A very useful utility for linux users / admins is the VNC server / client that provides GUI interface.
