Report Studio Link

[sg24]

Hi,

I have an issue where in when the reports are moved to production environment, and when the reports are run, at the top most right corner , "Report Studio " link appears for all the users. This should not enabled or seen because if the user clicks on the report studio link the report gets opned up in report studio and they would be able to modify the code which is incorrect.

Please Note : The users are given the URL of the report from the set properties option in cognos connection and they would open from IE.

Please let me know suggestions if you come across this scenario. thank u for the help.

Thanks.

First up, do NOT give user groups write permission to the report so even if they open it up in RS, they will never be able to save any changes.

Next, to hide RS itself there are several ways, depending upon whether you want to hide it from viewer's toolbar, action etc.  My personal preference is to not use JS solutions, but have included a script we use at present (8.4.2) to hide it from the cognos viewer
1) From the capabilities of Report Studio:

2) To do it from system.xml (and some other files depending upon whether you want to also hide it from toolbar, actions menu etc...doing so will cause it to be hidden from everyone including Admins),

Administration and Security Guide -> Customization -> Add or Hide User Interface Elements Based on Groups and Roles.

3) JS within report studio on the report page:

Thank you very much for the repsonse , i think the second option should work for me as i use Cognos 8.0 version.

Thanks,
