Locking Down "Move or Copy" function

[MichaelB]

I've been scrubbing the 11.x Admin and Security Guide, and have searched online as well, but I have been unable to find a definitive answer. Is there a way to lock down only the "Move or Copy" function without touching the Run As and other functions available to users? Or even if the function can't be hidden/removed from the menu, disable it? Just as an End-User doesn't have the ability to Delete a report, we don't want them to copy it as well. Move I suppose is already locked down as they only have Execute, Read, and Traverse for our Production folder. TIA.

Hi,

What you can do is customize the features permission of a role. This being said, the users that you want to remove the capability to "Copy or Move" should be members of a role.

If you already have this role then follow the steps:

1. In cognos glass UI go to Manage > Accounts
2. Navigate to your user's Role and right-click properties.
3. Select the Customization tab
4. Click the "Default" beside Features. This will open the Features window.
5. Expand "Reporting" > Context menus > Object Explorer options
6. Uncheck "Copy or Move" and select Apply.

This will remove the feature to Copy or move reports for that particular Role.


Cheers!

Thanks for the response! Will give this a try when I get me Config environment setup.
