Title: Adding a portal tab to all users
Post by: erics on 21 Sep 2015 11:14:49 AM
Hi There,
I'm working with cognos 10, and I need to add a portlet to all users.
I've figured out how to manage portal tabs by user, but I can't seem to figure out how to manage the tabs by groups. Is that possible? And if so how?

Thanks,
Eric

This topic comes up quite often on Cognoise. Here are two previous discussions, to get you started:

To resume, what you're looking for is not standard Cognos functionality.

Thanks, that's super appreciated.

When we edit the Default User Profile, can you change there which portal tabs users will have going forward?

Indeed you can (I had to look this up).

The documentation is in Chapter 25 Managing User Profiles of the Admin and Security Guide. I'm attaching a screenshot of the relevant Admin screen.
