Consumer Role in Cognos11 Like Cognos10

[vinu_rnr]

Hi All,

our congos10  version has consumer group , users of this groups, can only execute the reports (built using Report Studio).
In cognos 11 can we have similar group, who should NOT have any 'authoring' capability,, their usage must be 'ONLY' to execute only pre-authored content?

While going through the posts, came across following discussion

https://www.cognoise.com/index.php/topic,31286.msg103764.html#msg103764

where MF has given following comment
..... all Consumer licenses should now have transitioned automatically to Analytics User licenses, which permits use of the Authoring tool.

even licensing might be automatically allowing it, still we prefer not to extend it to users  (it's sad  :( but leadership is not inclined)

Thanks,

you can create your custom group and assign them to the appropriate capabilities and permissions.

I followed the route suggested by sdf.  I created a group named BI Consumers and set the appropriate capabilities.

It may be simpler than that.  Will the Information Distribution role work for you?
