[srinu1253]

Hi,

Can we create a Cognos Report studio report showing Users List from the User Group.
If so What are steps that do we need to take for Audit Package. Do the users shown will in in the Encrypted format.

Thanks

Getting users list from cognos audit package is very straightforward. But I doubt you will get list of groups by some means from cognos. Which authentication source you are using ? Some scripts can be written at authentication source end to retrieve information which you are looking for i.e user group and user name.

Also i got below link, check if this helps you.

Currently our Cognos Environment is not integrated with any 3rd part tool. Its still the manual Process of creating the groups and adding the groups to the list.

Did you ever figure out how to do this?  I only use Cognos because it's how Perceptive Content/ImageNow delivers their reports and I would greatly like to be able to generate a list of users per group as well - but feel pretty far out of my league every time I try to do anything in the tool.

This is something you can not get from Audit. I hope you have less number of users and groups created so that you can manually list them out and keep updated this sheet whenever you process some new user access request.

If it would have been third party authentication provider scripts could have been written to get this information.
