Groups & Role capability

[enrico_broggi@vfc.com]

Hi All,

There is a way to see which are all the capability of a group or a role?
From Admin I can only see permission of group and not capabilities

Thanks

BSP's Metamanager product will do this for you.

But if you haven't got that product or something similar, then doing it within Cognos 10 BI Server alone is not a quick or easy task.

If your Directory Admins haven't already documented the capability mappings for groups and roles, then it will probably involve discovery work to map the roles\groups\capabilities by manually checking their memberships.   :'(

Would be interested to see if anyone had managed to do this with less pointing and clicking required...

Hi,

Have a look at using the Cognos Audit Extension. There are a few steps to get it up and working but its pretty straightforward.  This allows you to run a content or security audit on your content store and pull out most information.
