How to restrict query studio to only one group in Cognos. My manager wants me to give the access to query studio only to one group and no other user who is not part of that group should have access to query studio? If i delete the existing capabilities of query studio and add that group to the capabilities,. Will that affect the whole system?  It has authors,directory administrators, Everyone, query users and report administrators in its permissions. What happens if i delete all of them and add just the group that needs access? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

As with your other post, this belongs in an admin section, where it is far more likely to get a response. I can move it for you, but you did not say what version you are on.

You got it... you restrict access to that group/role by removing it from that capability.

On a related note -- when working with your security model, remember that an explicit 'deny' will override a 'grant'. If a user is part of two groups, one which has a 'deny' and the other a grant, the user will not have access to that object.
