Title: Cognos 8 - Access Rights for Users
Post by: cognos8_1 on 11 Jun 2007 10:46:17 PM
Hi Cognos Gurus,


I have a requirement, where in I have User Group 'A', which categorises into 'BU1' and 'BU2'. Users falling under BU1 will have access to reports related to BU1 group. and Similarly, Users of 'BU2' group will have access to all reports falling under business unit 'BU2'. Group A users can access any report under any business unit.

Now the requirement is that users of BU1 should be given an option to access some reports falling under BU2. How is this acheived?

we can have separate UserClasses created with the similar access rights and add users accordingly.

Anybody has any idea on how to give an option to the users of a group (BU1) to access reports of other groups (BU2, ....etc) ?

Thanks & Regards.
