Hi everyone
Looking for some help granting access to Report Studio for a group I've made.
I've made a copy group of the Consumer role from the Cognos namespace and am having a heck of a time granting it access to Report Studio. I've granted the group Execute and Traverse permissions in Capabilities (a la: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/c8bi/v8r4m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cra.8.4.0.doc/ug_cra_id12133SetAccesstoaSecuredFunctionorFeature.html) but still do not see the link to RS from the Launch menu.
Can anyone offer some assistance on possibly why or some troubleshooting steps? As far as I can see granting access to RS isn't that complicated but the documentation just does not seem to work!!
Thanks so much for your time and help

Things can really get messed up if you tweak the Cognos Provided Initial Security too much at the same time. One thing I have learnt (working with Cognos Admin over 10 yrs) is document your steps - each one...so that U can revert back if you need to. Is there a way You can go back to the Initial Security ? Maybe tough, but worth giving it a try.
Ideally this is what I will do :(on a fresh Installation)
- The Predefined Role 'Author' has access to Report Studio.
- I will simply add my custom group (say XX) as a Member to this Role.
At the End, the user should have 'Execute' and 'Traverse' permission to the 'Report Studio' Secured Function' and All its underlying 'Secured features'
Best of Luck
