Title: Disabling buttons and auditing button use in PowerPlay web
Post by: etlmaster on 24 Oct 2006 12:50:11 PM
Does anyone know how to disable buttons or audit button use in PowerPlay web version 7.3?  Specifically we need to either disallow users from exporting or track who exported what and when they did it.

You should be able to edit \Program Files\Cognos\cer4\webcontent\ppwb\toolbar.js and remove any buttons you don't want.

Hi!  You didn't mention what version of PowerPlay you were running but....  For 7.3 MR3 and above, you can change the toolbar buttons on a server or cube-by-cube basis by using PowerPlay Server Administration from Cognos Server Administration.   Open the properties of the server or a cube, go to Cube Settings (server) or Settings (cube).  Under "Display (Web)", expand the "Toolbar" folder.  The toolbar buttons are listed and you can select "Enable/Disable"

For tracking you could use AJAX to subscribe to button events and log them using a web service.
