Title: How to Remove Password from Reports (I am admin)? Keep Password for Users
Post by: Pavlo01 on 07 Aug 2013 10:50:44 AM
Hello everyone,

I am a junior admin for IBM Cognos 10.1

When I (admin) and end users open a report in analysis studio we are prompted to input a password.

How can I remove this password for myself?

Thank You

Are you being prompted to enter a signon for the data source?

if so - you can enter a signon in the data source connection used by the report, and secure it's permissions such that it is only available to users in the appropriate admnistrator role\group.

In this way members of the role will be able to use the signon, non-members will still be prompted to input valid signon details for the connection.

All the best,

Simon
