Hello All,
Has anyone had a problem with Domain users signing on to the Cognos Portal before access to reports has been given? This is my problem...
We have AD (Active Directory), in testing sign-on to the Portal, a user was able to see all of the folders/reports/dashboards without any restrictions. The user was even able to create reports. And you know that if they can create reports, they can also change them, which is a big NO, NO, right.
So how can I restrict access to these reports across the Domain before I've had a chance to set restrictions? Does the Domain user group need access no, or yes if any
Thanks in advance for all of your assistance! :)
You can restrict the users by going to cognos administration. You can open Directory -> cognos and remove the everyone from each group. You can give permission as and when necessery based on your needs.
best of luck,
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! :D
You are correct...I've since done this and it works.
Thanks and have a wonderful day!
