How to hide prompt page for a specific set of users

[tushar gaurav]

In the prompt page there are three prompts and the requirement is if a user of a particular user group login to cognos connection and excute the report he wont see the prompt page and go to the report page directly.
How we can achieve this requirement??

Can't you just create another version of the report (without the prompt page) and grant those group of users say G1 access only to this version of the report.

Prompt version: Show it to all users except the group of users G1.
Non-prompt: Show it only to G1.

If this can suffice your requirement then nothing like it :)
else i am thinking parameter maps, macros and page render variable.

Hi have tried to use macros,but I am getting error while rendering the page..

1. Navigate to the non-prompt report entry in Cognos connection --> Set Properties --> Permissions
2. Select Add.. under the groups list and search/enter the group G1.
3. Once G1 is added to list, select it and Grant (RXT) access on non prompt based report.
4. Follow 1-3 for the prompt based report and instead of Grant, Deny access to G1 for the report.
