Title: Report View security and Source report security
Post by: Tsunami on 01 Jul 2013 09:59:01 AM
What permissions do you need for each?

I'm trying to hide the source report, but only allow users to run the view.

Should it be configured the following:

Report view - Read/Execute/Traverse
Source Report- Traverse

OR should it be something else?

Hi Tsunami,

I think the config could be as follows:

Report view - Read/Execute/Traverse
Source Report- Execute

This way your source stays hidden.

Another option might be to put the source report in a folder with only traverse permissions applied, with the view outside that folder and readable to your users.

Here's a bit on the creation of report views http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/cbi/v10r1m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.swg.im.cognos.ug_cc.10.1.0.doc%2Fug_cc_id4735CreateaReportView.html
