Sending OBIEE content to non-OBIEE users through agents

I often get to hear the following question concerning OBIEE agents:


Killer answer: Security!

Think about it: If you use "Get Recipients from the Analysis used in the Agent Condition", it will actually perform a complete login with authentication + authorization through the security realm and only the fetch the data.

Now imagine that you bypass this "because it's so convenient to just have the email in the data". And now imagine me doing this:

update MYTABLE set EMAIL = 'uber.h4xx0r@somenastyplace.thief';

At all.
