Title: Saving to Public Folders
Post by: ar0421 on 26 Aug 2011 11:28:16 AM
I have a following problem. All the developers have Administrator access to Production area. Once in a while we have a situation when the developer runs a report with options. If you do not select where to put the output (They need to save it in My Folders) Cognos automatically saves it in the same folder where the report is located, i.e. in Public Folders. That creates the situation where all users can view report output, which is harmful for my company. What would be the best solution to handle this situation?

Thanks.

There's no way to secure it if you give everyone Administrator access.  You will have to create at least one security group and deny that group the "Run with options" setting under security - Cognos viewer.

Yunus,

Thanks for your help. I am new to Administration module. Can you tell me in more details, how do I deny :Run with option" to a specific group.

Thanks
