Hi all,

I have different Security Roles in Cognos:
ex: Sales, Managers...

I have different portal pages for every different role (Sales Portal Page, Managers Portal Page etc.).
These pages should be start (home pages) for Sales role, Managers role etc.
So I give the users different links to open (the link to Sales Portal Page, the link to Managers Portal Page etc.).

How can I make only one portal page and different content for the different security roles should be shown in it.

Thanks,
Stancho

Not really an asnwer to what you asked but result is the same:
(this is for verson 8.4, I do not know if it works with other versions)
- Make sure (with permissions) different pages are only accessible to their respective roles
- add all portal pages to all users 
- edit <c8 installation directory>/ps/portal/system.xml  and enable hideInaccessibleTabs, change
     <param name="hideInaccessibleTabs">false</param> 
   into
     <param name="hideInaccessibleTabs">true</param>
- access cognos connection via default url (host/cognos8 or whatever you have)
Now each role should see only the page meant for them.

Hi prikala,

Really thanks for your answer!
That's exactly what I'm looking for!

I tried with Multi-page in Portal but I was missing this <param name="hideInaccessibleTabs">true</param> :)
