Hi,

If you log in as a user with administrative privileges you can do this.

Go to Launch -> IBM Cognos Administration, then go to the Security tab at the top, make sure you are on the Users, Groups and Roles page on the left, then drill into your security namespace on the right (the one not named Cognos).

Find the relevant user, select the 'more' option on the right, and you should be able to get access to that user's My Folders area.

Hope that helps,

MF.

Hello MFGF,

These are the available actions when I click on more properties :

QuoteAvailable actions:     

          Set properties

         Set preferences...
         Set personal properties...
         Set portal tabs...
         Delete this user's profile
         Copy this user's profile...

I couldn't find anythings that points to that user "My Folders" .. Do I miss anything ??

I think the user's name appears as a hyperlink if they have My Folders. Click on the name to see that users My Folders.
