Remove/hide 'Controller' link from 'Launch' menu

[SGD]

Hi All,

How do I remove/hide 'Controller' link from the 'Launch' menu of Cognos Connection. None of the user should see the link in 'Launch' menu.

I am using Cognos 10.2.

Hi,

All you need to do is to make sure that your users (or the groups/roles they belong to) are not members of either the Controller Administrators role or the Controller Users role in the Cognos namespace (in the Administration Console).

Hi MFGF,

Thanks for the reply.

As suggested, I have remove the users from Controller Administrator and user group but 'Controller' link is still visible.

Could it be visible for me because I am System Administrator? And will not be visible for normal Cognos users?

If you belong to the System Administrators role, you can see and do everything, so you will see Controller in the Launch menu. Normal users who do not belong to this role (and do not belong to the Controller Administrators and Controller Users roles) will not see it in the Launch menu, though.

Thanks MFGF.

Yes, the "Controller" link is not visible to normal users.

In addition, we have decided to replace Cognos Controller Web client with Local Client.

Because in earlier solution, I have removed all the respective groups/roles in order to remove the link but that was in AT ENV and can't remove them in PROD ENV.

So how should I handle the "Controller" link in launch menu? Please suggest.
