How to setup BI recipient user to access the reports..

[sudhajan]

Hi,

I have to setup the BI reciepient user. Can somebody let me know what/how permission/access needs to be given to a login id. I have created a new user for this and need to give permissions.

our scenario is that, someother User is going to schedule a report and send a mail with a 'include link to report' to this user and this user logins to view the report.

My issue that, the report link gets opened by the sent user or by root admin, but not by this new user.
how/what should i change for this user to access the report sent by other user.


environment: Cognos 8.3, windows, oracle

Thx in advance

Hi,

Typically a recipient user would be granted only Read and Traverse prilileges to the reports and folders they have access to.  If they do not have Execute, they will be unable to run reports on-demand, and will be able only to view pre-created report outputs for the reports they have access to.

Regards,

MF.
