Title: Hide packages and drill through reports folder in cognos 8.4
Post by: hiranb on 10 Nov 2009 07:12:54 AM
Hi,

    I am trying to hide packages and drill through reports folder in cognos 8.4. I deleted "or permission("execute") or permission("traverse")" from:

<!-- CM filter added to content requests to only return objects "visible" to the current user --> <param name="visible">[permission("read") or permission("write") or permission("execute") or permission("traverse") or permission("setPolicy")]</param>'.
and restarted the services. I can still see packages in the cognos connection. Can anyone help me if I am missing something here?
Thanks

Hello hbolla

You could get around the entire permissions issue by hiding the objects (properties > hide), then taking away users' capabilities to see hidden objects and the capabililty to renable this. All these are in Admin > Security > Capabilities.

It  worked for me just by doing that
did you modify the system.xml file on all your servers?

That's great news. I don't remember having to touch the system.xml at all: everything needed was available via Administration in Cognos Connection...

Did you amend something in there?
