1. To create users in ODI, go to the security tab, click the add icon, provide a username and password along with expiration dates, and save. 2. New users initially have no access or profiles assigned. Profiles like CONNECT, DESIGNER, METADATA ADMIN, OPERATOR, and TOPOLOGY ADMIN must be granted from the master repository to allow access to different areas of ODI. 3. Once all necessary profiles are granted, the new user will have full access to create, view, edit and manage objects in various areas of the ODI repository like designer, metadata, operators, and connections.

And designer profile gives privileges to create, edit, delete ability for these objects. On designer tab under models section try to add a new model or add datastore to existing models.

Model is the place where data stores’ metadata are being held. Like tables, files, web services and other data stores. METADATA ADMIN gives you ability of create, edit, view and delete of Model objects or Model folders Now login with master repository and grant OPERATOR profile to user Developer. OPERATOR : Operator has sessions’ information, load plans, scenarios … etc. Actually running codes, and their sessions are being held in this tab. By using operator you can see errors, see successful runs, re-run scenarios. After granting all this roles the user still won’t be able to create any new connection in Topology tab as below

- 10. TOPOLOGY ADMIN : Topology is where you have connection information to data stores, TNS info for a table’s database or path of a file or URL of a web service. All connections are stored here This completes the Developer user and we have assigned all the necessary privileges to the user. If you do not want the user to create any new connections or modify existing connections then simply remove the TOPOLOGY ADMIN profile from the user.
