Hi, follow the steps to implement security

Data Level Security:

>open framework manager
>select the querysubject
>go to actions menu
>there select 'apply data level security'
>then specify data security window will open
>there  click on add groups
>import groups


Report Security:


>You will provide security in cognos connection
>you need to select the report
>go to properties, permissions and here you need to add a user or a group that will access this report. >You can also define the kind of access they will have on this report (ex: read or write). If you provide write access, the other user will be able to modify the report in report studio.

>Also, when a report is saved in a package or a folder by default it will inherit the security of the parent
folder or package.
