Title: Cognos 10 Security Automation
Post by: atnaatna on 15 Aug 2011 02:45:28 PM
All - anyone know if there is anyway to automate Role and Group creations within Cognos 10?

For example, back in the Series 7 days, there is a tool called "Access Manager Batch Maintenance" that would allow you to write scripts to automate the creation of user classes.

So is there an equivalent of this in Cognos 10?  I don't believe there was a tool that I know of in Cognos 8.

Yeah... that tool called SDK. I know that isn't what you expect to hear, but that is the only one. You can also try BSP Software MetaManager or similar to get extended Cognos admin functionality, but nothing like Access Manager Batch Maintenance, unfortunately.
