Title: Cognos role permission tab
Post by: ITEvilWoman on 14 Apr 2016 02:29:42 PM
Hey all. Can anyone tell me what the permissions tab on a Cognos built in role controls? I'm struggling to find anything in the manuals on it.

Did not get your question.....but for any entry permission tab will have set of groups/users which will have read/write/execute/traverse/set policy permission for that particular entry.

Thanks for replying sunsoft. I have eventually found the one line in the security manual that says that permissions are cumulative!

As per my understanding this means, user will have combined permissions on some particular entry. For example if user is having read permission on particular entry and if he/she is a part of some group which is having write access on that same entry. Then users combined permission for that particular entry is read,write.
