GL Data Access Sets - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The GL Data Access Sets report analyzes the security configuration of the General Ledger, specifically focusing on Data Access Sets. It details which ledgers and ledger sets are accessible to specific users or responsibilities, ensuring proper segregation of duties and data security. This report is a key component of system administration and internal audit workflows, providing visibility into “who can see what” within the financial system.
Business Use Cases
- Security Audit: Verifies that users only have access to the ledgers relevant to their role (e.g., ensuring US users access only US ledgers and cannot view or post to European ledgers).
- System Administration: Assists in troubleshooting “access denied” issues or empty reports by confirming the active Data Access Set configuration for a specific responsibility.
- Compliance Reporting: Documents data access controls for SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) or internal audit requirements, proving that financial data is protected from unauthorized access.
- Implementation Verification: Validates that the complex hierarchy of Ledgers and Ledger Sets has been correctly mapped to Data Access Sets during system setup.
Technical Analysis
Core Tables
GL_ACCESS_SETS: Defines the header information for a data access set (Name, Security Code, Chart of Accounts ID).GL_ACCESS_SET_ASSIGNMENTS: Maps the Data Access Set to specific Ledgers or Ledger Sets.GL_LEDGERS: Stores details about the ledgers themselves.GL_LEDGER_SET_NORM_ASSIGN_V: A view that helps resolve the flattened list of ledgers contained within a Ledger Set.
Key Joins & Logic
- Access Mapping: The query joins
GL_ACCESS_SETStoGL_ACCESS_SET_ASSIGNMENTSto find the scope of access. - Ledger Resolution: It links to
GL_LEDGERSto retrieve the names of the accessible entities. - Hierarchy Flattening: A Data Access Set can grant access to a “Ledger Set” (a group of ledgers). The report logic often needs to expand this Ledger Set to list the individual underlying ledgers to provide a complete picture of access.
- Privilege Check: The report distinguishes between
READ_ONLYandREAD_WRITEprivileges, which is stored in the assignment table.
Key Parameters
- Access Set Name: The specific data access set to analyze.
- Ledger Name: Filter to see which access sets provide access to a specific ledger.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
