Hi there!
Do you have to be an administrator to create and use import-export tasks in the content administration page or can you give users the access so they can use them themselves?

Thank you!

Hi,

IBM license documents say you need to have an Administrator license to access anything in the Admin console, so this isn't something you can (legally) grant access to for non-Administrator users.

About half way down the page is a section entitled "User Roles". For each of the non-Administrator licenses, you can see that "IBM Cognos Administration" is listed as being a component / function the license is not authorised to use.

Cheers!

MF.
Meep!
