Title: [CC] Is it possible to add a Portal to an Entire Group ?
Post by: dxwallace on 11 Jul 2007 03:23:03 PM
 Is it possible to add a Portal to an Entire Group or role as opposed to one individual user?

I can see in Portal administration, that there is an option for the individual user, but I am trying to set up a portal tab that an entire group can see. If I can't do it in one swoop, then I will have to add it to each user individually, or force them to add the tab themselves, neither of which I want to do unless unavoidable.

Official answer from Cognos -- SDK.

What I gather is that you want to add a portal tab to users that belong to specific role or group?

The code is available in the knowledge base and I can actually say that is works like a champ.  We only had to do minor tweaks to meet our needs but have had no problems with it.

Every night we run through a role with 1600 users and update their tabs to all be in accordance with our standards.  This is to cover new users and those who accidentally deleted the tabs that they are required to have as users.

The sample was in Java.

Can you tell me where to go in KB to find this? I'm having a little trouble finding it in the code.

Could you please post the KB number or the link to the solution.
