Oracle Report Manager is the online report distribution system that provides a secure and centralized location to produce and manage point-in-time reports. Reports can be published and presented to certain responsibilities without additional security or a variety of security models can be applied, allowing only authorized users to view entire reports or parts of reports. In addition, we can use specific templates to integrate reports displayed by Report Manager using the organization's individual style. The key benefit of Report Manager in R 12.1 is that the report can be directly viewed and opened in Excel (as against earlier releases wherein it can be viewed only in PDF or html).  

The approach to deploy should begin by looking at the Menu Functions that are available. Oracle does not seed specific responsibility for being used to run Report Manager, as the reports could be called and published from any of the base application’s responsibility. Hence, the suggested approach of Oracle is to add these functions to the appropriate responsibility.
